I heard that the U.K. will launch a Global Talent visa program next month to attract scientists and researchers to the country. What are the criteria of a “Global Talent”? What documents do I need to provide to prove my professional skills?
Answers
This visa was announced only a few days ago. The official guidance should be issued in soon.
This new visa will be launched on Feb. 20, 2020. No immigration rules have yet been published, which means what evidence to provide is unknown as the person applying may need different evidence. This new visa route has four areas that includes senior appointments, fellowship, endorsed funders and peer review. It will be expected the person applying will need some kind of U.K. endorsement. To get the endorsement, you must demonstrate your exceptional skill sets.
