Are you eligible for a Global Talent visa?

Consult a lawyer and get a realistic assessment of your chances of immigrating to the UK

What is required to apply for a Global Talent visa?

To be granted entry clearance, you must prove your qualifications and their potential value to the UK economy.

01
Get the Tech Nation stamp of approval

Tech Nation is a UK organisation that assesses visa applicants. It is risky to apply for a visa without their approval.

Therefore, it is important to clearly demonstrate your value and gain approval. To do this, you need to collect and present necessary evidence that confirms your credentials, experience and achievements.

02
Submit application and documents for a visa

After approval from Tech Nation, you can safely fill out the consular form and prepare documents for the visa. If your family is traveling with you, you need to submit an application, documents, and also pay official fees for each family member.

At this stage, it is important to correctly enter all the data in the application. Collect, translate and attach the documents that the visa officer will need to make a decision.

Our experience will help you speed up and facilitate this process.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Is it now mandatory to get vaccinated to enter the UK?
Vaccination against COVID-19 is not mandatory. From 18 March 2022, you can enter the country without presenting COVID certificates, undergoing COVID-19 tests and self-isolation upon arrival.
If I am denied a visa, is there any way I can appeal it?
If you are refused, you can request a review of your case within 28 days of the decision. We will help you analyze and address the reasons for the refusal to increase your chances of success.
Can I get this visa if I am already in the UK?
Yes, it is not a problem. You are eligible to apply for the Global Talent Visa. However, your application will take longer to process – up to 8 weeks.
If I get a talent visa, will I be allowed to leave the UK?
Yes, it will not affect your visa in any way. But keep in mind that if you plan to obtain citizenship, you must be in the country for at least 180 days a year, and not exceed 450 days abroad in total over 5 years. In the last year before applying for citizenship, it is not recommended to leave the UK for more than 3 months.
When I arrive in the UK with a Global Talent visa, do I need to look for a job in my field straight away?
There are no such requirements. You decide for yourself what to do next: be an employee or self-employed, register a business or leave your field altogether. But in the latter case, you will not be able to extend your visa.
If I already have a Job Offer from a UK company, will I be able to change jobs later?
A Job Offer is not considered a mandatory requirement for obtaining a visa, but it can be an additional plus. And it does not bind you to a specific employer. In the future, you can freely change your place of work.
What documents and materials are needed to obtain approval from Tech Nation?
Each case is individual. Therefore, it is better to have your case analyzed by a lawyer. In our experience, it is worth collecting letters of recommendation from influential and recognized organizations, awards, certificates, materials from the media that talk about your achievements. Of course, do not forget about an attractive CV and a motivation letter.
At what age can you apply for this visa?
Applicants must be 18 years of age or older.
Can I switch to a Global Talent visa if I’m in the UK on another visa type?
Yes, you can change from another visa category to Global Talent if you meet the requirements and receive approval from the Endorsement body.
If my partner is coming with me on a Global Talent visa, will he/she be able to work in the UK?
Yes, your partner and any other dependants travelling with you on a Global Talent visa will be able to work and/or study in the UK on a full-time basis without restrictions.
Can I reapply for this visa if I was previously denied approval?
Yes, if you are refused, you can resubmit your application by correcting errors or adding additional evidence of your achievements and eligibility.
What happens if my project or start-up fails or I am made redundant from a UK company while I am on a Global Talent visa?
Failure of a project or startup will not directly affect your visa. The Global Talent visa does not require continued success in the project, but it is recommended to remain actively involved in your professional field so that there are no problems with visa extension or applying for permanent residence in the future.
Can I apply for a Global Talent visa without UK work experience?
Yes, UK experience is not required. The main requirement is to show that you are recognised as a leader or promising talent in your professional field.
