No, your family's income does not directly affect your eligibility for a student visa to Australia or New Zealand.

What matters is that you can show sufficient funds to cover tuition, living expenses, and return travel. This financial proof can come from personal savings, parents’ or sponsor’s funds, education loans, or scholarships.

You must provide genuine evidence of these funds (such as bank statements or loan sanction letters). There is no fixed minimum family income - what’s important is demonstrating you have enough money available for your studies and stay.

Cash income, business income or no ITR?

See whether your funds and documents will pass the Australian visa check.
