Global Talent Visa UK: Complete Guide for Applicants

What is the Global Talent Visa?

The Global Talent Visa UK is a specialized immigration route designed for highly skilled individuals in science, engineering, humanities, digital technology, arts, and research. It allows talented professionals to live and work in the UK while contributing to their field. Unlike standard visas, the Global Talent Visa requires prior endorsement from approved bodies before submitting the visa application.

Who Can Apply for the Global Talent Visa?

Applicants must first receive endorsement from one of the six authorized organizations, depending on their field:

The Royal Society – science and medicine
The Royal Academy of Engineering – engineering
The British Academy – humanities
Tech Nation – digital technology
Arts Council England – arts and culture
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) – research

If your expertise is in fashion, architecture, film, or television, Arts Council England will forward your application to:

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

Applicants must generally be 18 years or older, except for those who have received a major award in their field, which allows them to apply without endorsement.

Visa and Endorsement Fees

Both endorsement approval and visa application involve fees:

Endorsement: £561
Initial assessment: £205
Total (for award-based applications): £766

For dependants, an additional fee of £766 per person applies. Moreover, the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) is £1,035 per year per adult and £776 per year per child.

Steps to Apply for the Global Talent Visa

Obtain Endorsement – Each endorsing body has its own evaluation criteria. Approval is the first step in the visa process.

Submit Visa Application – Once endorsed, applicants can submit their visa application to the UK Home Office.

Provide Supporting Documents – This includes proof of achievements, identification, financial statements, and English proficiency certificates.

Pay Fees – Cover endorsement fees, visa application, IHS, and dependant charges as applicable.
