Apply for the Global Talent visa
Documents you'll need to apply
When you apply you’ll need to provide:
- a valid passport or other document that shows your identity and nationality
- your tuberculosis test results if you’re from a country where you have to take the test
If you’ve had an award or scholarship to study in the UK in the last year, you’ll also need written permission to apply from the agency or government that granted it.
If your documents are not in English or Welsh you’ll also need to provide a certified translation.
You need a blank page in your passport for your visa if you’re:
- from outside the EU, EEA or Switzerland
- from the EU, EEA or Switzerland but do not have a biometric passport with a chip in it
If you’ve won an eligible award, the Home Office will look at publicly available information (such as the award organisation’s website) to confirm that you’ve won. You’ll only be asked for evidence of your win if they cannot find this.
