How do I migrate to the UK as a global talent?

The UK Global Talent visa is a category specifically targeted to exceptional or global talents who want to be part of the country. It is for foreigners who are established in an early stage of their career in certain fields, such as science, engineering, technology, art, and humanities. This visa allows an individual to enter the UK without a job offer and doesn’t require sponsorship by an employer.

 

The UK Global Talent visa is a replacement for the Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) visa, which was created to attract global talent to work in the UK.
