Work in the UK as a leader in digital technology (Global Talent visa)
Apply for endorsement
Once you have the documents, you can apply for endorsement on GOV.UK.
The endorsing body will assess your application and decide whether you meet the eligibility criteria to apply for the Global Talent visa.
If your application is successful you’ll receive an email from the Home Office with a copy of your endorsement letter. You’ll need these for your visa application.
You must apply for your visa within 3 months of receiving your letter of endorsement from the Home Office.
You will not automatically get a visa if you’ve been endorsed.
Apply for the Global Talent visa
You can apply for the Global Talent visa at the same time as you apply for endorsement, or after you have the endorsement confirmed.
If your permission to stay in the UK is about to expire, applying for the visa will extend it until you’ve been given a decision.
If you apply for both at the same time and your endorsement is refused, your visa application will be rejected, but you’ll get the visa application fee back.
You’ll get a response within 3 weeks if you’re outside the UK or 8 weeks if you’re inside the UK.
