The UK Global Talent visa is an immigration category targeted to attract talented skilled workers from specific sectors that wish to work in the U.K. Candidates can apply for a Global Talent visa to work in the U.K. if they are a potential leader in the following fields:
To be considered for this Global Talent visa, the applicant must be eligible to have a secured support from any 1 of the six supporting bodies established by the U.K. Home Office.
A UK Global Talent visa allows an applicant to live and work in the country for up to 5 years. At the same time, there is no restriction on the duration of stay. However, it is necessary to extend the visa when it expires. A Global Talent visa can be extended anywhere from 1 to 5 years. Depending on the candidate's field, an ILR can be applied for on a Global Talent visa after 3 to 5 years in the U.K.
After a specific period of staying in the country with a Global Talent visa, holders might be eligible to apply for an Indefinite Leave to Remain [ILR] to settle in the U.K. permanently. With the ILR, an individual can live, work, and study in the U.K. for as long as required, even apply for benefits if eligible.
