Yes, staying with relatives who have work permits can help reduce your living expenses while studying abroad, as it may lower costs for accommodation and daily needs.

However, you must ensure this arrangement meets the visa and immigration requirements of your chosen country. Some countries require proof of independent accommodation or minimum funds, regardless of where you stay.
