What We Check For

Common refusal grounds — caught before submission

Endorsement application rejected — evidence did not meet the relevant criteria

Wrong endorsing body chosen for the applicant's field
Evidence submitted for endorsement does not match the visa application
Mandatory criteria not met (endorsing bodies have both mandatory and discretionary criteria)
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a job offer for the Global Talent visa?

No. The Global Talent visa is unsponsored — you do not need a job offer or an employer sponsor. You need an endorsement from an approved endorsing body instead.

Which endorsing bodies are accepted for the Global Talent visa?

The six endorsing bodies are: Tech Nation (digital technology), UKRI (research and academia), British Academy (humanities and social sciences), Royal Society (natural sciences), Royal Academy of Engineering (engineering), and Arts Council England (arts and culture).

What is the difference between Exceptional Talent and Exceptional Promise?

Exceptional Talent is for established leaders in their field with a significant track record. Exceptional Promise is for emerging leaders who show potential to become leaders. Exceptional Promise applicants are usually earlier in their career.

How long does the Global Talent visa last?

Up to 5 years. After 3 years (Exceptional Talent) or 5 years (Exceptional Promise) you may be eligible to apply for ILR, depending on which path you are on.

Can I bring my family on a Global Talent visa?

Yes. Eligible dependants — spouse/partner and children under 18 — can apply to join or accompany you. They can work and study in the UK.
