It depends. Salary slips or bank statements from informal or foreign-based schools may be accepted for visa purposes, but only if they are authentic and the employer is recognized and verifiable.

Visa officers usually prefer documents from officially registered employers. If your work experience is with an informal or foreign-based school, strengthen your application with:

- Experience certificates detailing your role and duration
- Tax documents matching your employment period
- Employer contact details for verification

All documents must be genuine and independently verifiable to support your visa application.
