Does New Zealand require proof of funds older than three months?
No, New Zealand does not require your proof of funds to be older than three months for a student visa. The main requirement is that the funds are from a legitimate source and are genuinely available to you during your stay.
You should provide recent documents such as:
- Bank statements for the last three months
- Fixed-term deposit certificates (if applicable)
- Scholarship letters (if applicable)
- Education loan documents (if applicable)
- Provident fund statements (if applicable)
All documents must clearly show your ability to support yourself financially. If you need help preparing these documents, reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor.
