Global Talent Visa

Eligibility for the Global Talent Visa

1. Endorsement: You must be endorsed by an approved UK body within your field of expertise. For example, tech professionals may be endorsed by Tech Nation, while researchers may be endorsed by UK Research and Innovation.
2. Field of Expertise: Your expertise must be in one of the eligible fields, such as digital technology, arts, engineering, science, or humanities.
3. Achievements and Recognition: You must demonstrate your achievements, recognition, and expertise in your field, showing you are a leader or potential leader in your field.
4. No Financial Requirement: Unlike many other visas, the Global Talent Visa does not require a minimum investment or funds requirement, though some fields may require a certain level of financial support to prove you can sustain yourself.

Benefits of the Global Talent Visa

• Work Flexibility: You can work for any employer in the UK, change jobs, and even work independently.
• Path to Settlement: The Global Talent Visa provides a pathway to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after 3 years, or 5 years for some applicants, making it an excellent route for long-term residence.
• Family Members: Your spouse and children can join you in the UK as dependents.
