The UK Global Talent visa

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:

• Academia or Research
• Arts and Culture
• Digital Technology

To be considered for this GTI 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.
