To show sponsorship from family members living in New Zealand for your student visa, you need:

- Completed Sponsorship Form for Temporary Entry (INZ 1025): Confirms your sponsor’s financial commitment.
- Proof of relationship: Such as birth or marriage certificates, or legal affidavits.
- Financial evidence from sponsor: Recent bank statements (usually last 3 months), pay slips or employment letters, and income tax returns to show financial capacity.
- Accommodation details: If staying with your sponsor, provide property documents or rental agreements and a letter from your sponsor confirming your living arrangements.

All documents must be genuine, recent, and clearly linked to your sponsor. Requirements are subject to change.
