No, a Vakalatnama is not accepted as proof of work experience for visa or university admission purposes.

For UK student visa applications, you need formal employment documents such as:
- Experience certificates or reference letters on company letterhead
- Appointment letters or official offer letters
- Salary slips (if available)

These documents should clearly state your job title, employment dates, responsibilities, and be signed and stamped by the employer.
