There is no fixed minimum ITR (Income Tax Return) amount required for student visas to Australia, New Zealand, or the UK. Your ITRs should demonstrate that your or your sponsor’s income is sufficient to cover tuition fees and living expenses as per each country’s current requirements.

- Australia: Show income that supports at least AUD 29,710/year for living costs plus first-year tuition (subject to change).
- New Zealand: Income should support NZD 20,000/year or NZD 1,667/month (subject to change).
- UK: Income should support £1,483/month in London or £1,136/month outside London (subject to change).

Provide ITRs for the last 2 - 3 years to show consistent income and ensure all funds are traceable and legitimate.
