Global Talent Visa

The Global Talent Visa is a UK Visa for talented and promising people in specific sectors. The Global Talent Visa replaced Tier 1 Exceptional Talent Visa.

You can apply for a Global Talent Visa to work in the UK if you are a leader or potential leader in one of the following fields:

• Academia or research
• Arts and culture
• Digital technology

You can usually only apply for a Global Talent Visa if you have successfully applied for an endorsement to prove that you are a leader or potential leader. You can apply for the visa without an endorsement if you have won an eligible award.

As part of your application, you will need to prove your identity and provide documents.

How long you can stay

You can live and work in the UK for up to 5 years at a time.

There is no limit to how long you can stay in the UK in total, but you will need to renew (‘extend’) your visa when it expires. Each extension can last from 1 to 5 years – you choose how long you want the extension to be.

You may be able to get indefinite leave to remain so you can settle in the UK after 3 or 5 years, depending on which field you work in and how you apply. This gives toy the right to live, work, and study in the UK for as long as you like and apply for benefits if you are eligible.
