The Global Talent route is for people aged 18 or over in the fields of science, engineering, humanities, medicine, digital technology, or arts and culture who can demonstrate exceptional talent or exceptional promise. The Global Talent Visa category is a settlement category which leads to ILR after either 3 years or 5 years. A dependent partner and dependent children can apply under this route.

Global Talent replaced Tier 1 (Exceptional talent) on 20 February 2020. Individuals with permission in the Tier 1 (Exceptional talent) route can apply for an extension or settlement under the Global Talent rules.

For most individuals, there is a two-part application process. The first part is an application for endorsement (guidance on the relevant evidence and its format is set out from time to time by the Secretary of State on gov.uk/global talent); the second part is an application for entry clearance or permission to stay.

A person can make an application for endorsement before applying for permission, or they can make both applications at the same time.

Alternatively, a person who has been awarded a prestigious prize listed in Appendix Global Talent: Prestigious Prizes is considered to show exceptional talent and is therefore not required to apply for an endorsement.
