How to apply for UK Global Talent visa

The UK Global Talent visa is a work visa for people aged 18 and above, who are leaders or potential leaders in academia or research, arts and culture, and digital technology

According to the UK government, applying for Global Talent visa is through two means: by awards or by endorsement.

The UK goverment said:

“The way you apply for a Global Talent visa depends on your circumstances. If you’ve won an eligible prestigious prize, you can apply for the visa directly. If you’ve not won an eligible prestigious prize, you’ll need to get an endorsement first to prove that you’re a leader or potential leader in your field.”

The visa route is also open for people outside the country and those who are in the country and may want to extend their visas or switch to another route.

Emmanuel, who already stays in the UK, got his Global Talent visa through endorsement.
