Yes, you must provide thorough documentation of your work experience and financial status for a UK or New Zealand student visa application.

Key documents for work experience and finances include:

- Employment verification letters on company letterhead, stating your job title, duration, and responsibilities.
- Experience or relieving letters confirming your role and employment period.
- Offer letters from employers.
- Recent salary slips (typically last 3-6 months) to verify income - recommended but not always mandatory.
- Income Tax Returns (ITR) or Form 16 as proof of declared income.
- Bank statements showing salary credits.
- Resume/CV detailing your work history.

For finances, you’ll also need proof of funds (bank statements, fixed deposits, or sponsorship letters).

All documents must be authentic and in English or officially translated. If salary slips are unavailable, strong experience letters and tax returns can support your case.
