Global Talent visas are typically granted for up to five years, after which it is possible to extend for another one to five years. Alternatively, Global Talent visa holders can choose to apply for settlement (i.e. Indefinite Leave to Remain – ILR) after three years for a leader and five years for a potential leader.

 

The Global Talent visa is pitched at a higher level than other UK work visas and hence comes with additional benefits. With a Global Talent visa, you will be able to:

• come to the UK without meeting an English language requirement or having a job offer

• work for a company in the UK

• be self-employed

• become a company director

• change or stop doing your job without telling the Home Office

• bring your partner and children with you as your dependants

• travel abroad and return to the UK

• apply for ILR after just 3 years (for leaders)

 

In order to be eligible for a Global Talent Visa, you must be:

 

• over 18

• a leader or potential leader in academia or research, arts and culture, or digital technology

• be endorsed by an endorsing body

 

Unlike many other UK visa types, there are no salary or English language requirements.
