Is the ITR requirement applicable only for one course or for others as well in Australia/New Zealand?

The ITR (Income Tax Return) requirement is not specific to any one course - it applies broadly to student visa applications, depending on the country’s rules.

- Australia: You generally need to show ITRs for 2-3 years to prove your sponsor’s income (typically ₹12-15 lakh/year), regardless of the course.
- New Zealand: ITRs are not strictly mandatory, but strong financial documents (like bank statements and salary slips) are needed for any course.
- France and UAE: There are no standard ITR requirements tied to specific courses; requirements may vary and are subject to change.

The key factor is demonstrating financial capacity, not the specific course you choose.
