Yes, an annual sponsor income of ₹15 - 20 lakhs is generally sufficient for both education loan approval and student visa purposes in New Zealand, the UK, and Ireland.

- Education loans: Most lenders require a co-applicant with a stable income. For New Zealand, banks typically look for at least ₹4 - 6 lakhs/year. For the UK and Ireland, requirements vary, but your sponsor’s income is within the typical accepted range.
- Student visas: All three countries require proof of funds to cover tuition and living expenses. A sponsor’s income in this range usually meets the financial capability criteria, provided you submit complete financial documents.

Requirements are subject to change.
