What is the Global Talent Visa?
The Global Talent Visa enables recognised leaders and promising individuals to live and work in the United Kingdom without requiring employer sponsorship.
The route is designed for leaders and emerging leaders in science, engineering, medicine, humanities, digital technology, arts and culture.
Most applicants require endorsement from a recognised endorsing body unless they qualify through an eligible prestigious international prize.
Legate Hub provides end-to-end assistance with endorsement preparation, evidence presentation, Home Office submissions, and long-term settlement planning.
