Yes, transferring funds between family members' accounts is generally acceptable for meeting student visa financial requirements, as long as you can clearly document the source and ownership of the funds.

You will typically need:
- Bank statements from the family member showing the funds and transfer.
- Proof of transfer, such as transaction receipts.
- Evidence of relationship (birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc.).
- Letter of explanation from the family member about the transfer and its purpose.

Visa requirements and documentation standards are subject to change.
