Global Talent Visa
Legal advice on Global Talent Visas
The Global Talent visa is a category of UK immigration for talented and promising individuals who seek to work in the UK in specific fields such as science, humanities, engineering, the arts, and technology.
Until February 2020, the Global Talent visa replaced the tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) visa category.
Applicants must be industry leaders or have the potential to become industry leaders, as recognised by an endorsing body.
