• First of all, it opens up more career opportunities for the individual. The visa recipient can work in a wide variety of companies and organisations in their speciality or become self-employed.
• Secondly, the additional bureaucracy associated with sponsorship licences and sponsorship certificates is completely eliminated from the process, as this procedure does not apply to global talent.
• Last but not least, the reporting policy for such people is not as strict as for some other types of visas. You don’t even have to inform the government about a job change.
• In fact, a person is free to reside in the United Kingdom without going through any additional fees or procedures for the duration of the visa. However, in case he wants to extend it further, he will have to prove his professional growth and success during his stay.

 

 

 

 

 

Approval of the endorsement and obtaining the visa are fee-based procedures. In order for your request for approval to be considered

you will need to:

 

• Pay a fee of £456
• The initial review fee is £192
• If you are applying on the basis of receiving a relevant award, you will pay the full amount of £716. It is worth noting that the above fees are slightly lower for Turkish and Macedonian nationals.

 

 

• In case a person is going to apply with dependents, there is an additional fee of £716 per person.

 

 

• Last but not least, a person will be charged an Immigration Health Surcharge of £624 per year. For children, the IHS levy is £470 per year.

 

The eligibility requirements for Global Talent visa applicants are:

The candidate requirements for each area of the Global Talent work visa are different. In this section we will provide brief versions of the criteria published by the relevant organisations that we have already listed above. Both the criteria and the evidence you will need to provide are individualised and it is always best to look for full details on the relevant body’s website.

Arts Council England

 

• This body requires an individual to prove that they have contributed to the creation of talented works of art. The individual is required to prove that they have been professionally involved in relevant work within the previous five years, as well as having sufficient international experience.
• The individual must provide the organisation with at least three letters of recommendation, strong evidence of professional experience in different countries, and their work must be recognised as outstanding by the organisation.

 

Tech Nation

 

• To be endorsed by the Tech Nation organisation, an individual must prove their involvement in the creation of relevant technical products. They will need to provide the organisation with strong evidence of their professional involvement in product development as well as commercial investment in this area. Like the previous body, Tech Nation also requires the individual to provide three letters of recommendation.

 

Other bodies

 

• For other organisations representing engineering, science, research and medical fields, the criteria are pretty much the same. In general, an individual simply needs to prove to the body that they are actively and outstandingly involved in their respective segments. For each of these fields, there are a number of other criteria specific to the profession, so be sure to check all the details with the relevant body before applying.

Preparing your application

How do I apply?

 

 

How do I apply for a Global Talent visa?

 

• Preparing to apply is much more complicated than the application process itself. The government gives citizens two options to choose from: they can apply domestically or from outside the UK.
• When applying from overseas, the government will require you to visit a destination centre. For those already residing in the United Kingdom, there is an option to change your current visa. To do this, simply submit an online application form.

 

 

Documents required to apply for a Global Talent visa

 

The overall list of required documents can be quite long, as you should consider that you will need a significant amount of documents to be approved before you can go to the visa application centre. In general, you will need the following documents from these industries, but these are not all areas:

 

• British Fashion Council, for fashion
• Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), for architecture
• Producers Alliance for Cinema and Television (PACT), for film and television.

The evidence mentioned in the last paragraph is also individual to each area. However, in any field, they should demonstrate the outstanding quality of your work and your exceptional achievements in the relevant field.

 

Additional documents may also be required. For example, as we mentioned in the previous section, digital specialists will need to prove their active involvement in product development. Therefore, such people will have to attach several other relevant documents. Researchers will also need to provide all relevant information about their previous work.

 

What is the processing time for a Global Talent visa?

 

• In most cases the processing time does not exceed one month. However, as with other types of visas, the authorities may ask you to confirm certain details at an interview, which usually increases the length of the process considerably.
• The difference in timelines also depends on where you are sending your application from. For those applying from outside the country, the processing time is usually around three weeks, while for those applying from within the country, it can take up to eight weeks.
• It is also important to note that some professionals from the digital industry can take the fast-track route, which provides for a shorter processing time.
• Another important detail is that a person can submit a visa application before the approval request is considered. Since these are two separate procedures, submitting them at the same time is a convenient way to save time. Although, in case the approval is not granted, there will be no chance of the visa request being approved.
• The time it takes to prepare a case depends on the package chosen, as well as the quantity and quality of key documents provided during the process.
