UK Global Talent Visa
Global Talent is an evidence-based route for eligible people in academia and research, digital technology, and arts and culture. Most applicants need endorsement unless they hold an eligible prestigious prize.
General information only. Requirements change. The Home Office makes the final decision.
Exceptional Talent vs. Exceptional Promise
Exceptional Talent is for established leaders. Exceptional Promise is for people at an earlier career stage but showing strong potential. Both require endorsement from the relevant body.
Settlement pathway
Exceptional Talent holders can apply for ILR after three years. Exceptional Promise holders can apply after five years.
No employer requirement
Global Talent does not require a UK employer. The visa is based on the applicant's achievement and endorsement, not a job offer.
