Yes, you can show financial proof for your New Zealand student visa with your mother as the main sponsor if she is working.

- Provide your mother's recent bank statements (last 3 months), salary slips, employment letter, and Income Tax Returns (ITRs) to show stable income.
- Submit your birth certificate or similar documents to prove your relationship with your mother.
- Your mother should complete the Financial Undertaking for a Student form, confirming her commitment to support you.
- Your father's retired status is not an issue; his savings or pension can be shown as extra support if needed, but your mother's documents must clearly demonstrate sufficient funds.

If you need help organizing these documents, your Leap counsellor can guide you through the process.
