Global Talent visa

Who it is for

Leaders or potential leaders in academia and research, arts and culture, or digital technology, endorsed by an approved body — or holders of a qualifying prize.

What you will need

• Your endorsement, or evidence you hold a qualifying prize

• Evidence of your work: publications, credits, funding, press

• Letters of recommendation from recognised figures

Common reasons people are refused

• Evidence that shows activity but not recognition

• Recommendation letters from people outside the field

• Applying under the wrong endorsing body for your work
