The UK introduced a new 'Global Talent' visa category on
20 February 2020. This article sets out details of who is eligible
and what is new about the application procedure.
The Global Talent visa launched on 20 February 2020 after being
announced by the Government in August last year.
Novel features of the Global Talent category include that it has
no cap on applications and offers fast-tracked entry and settlement
for eligible applicants within the science and research
sectors.
Like the Tier 1 Exceptional Talent category, the Global Talent
category is also available to those with proven talent or
promise in the areas of digital technology, arts and culture
(including film and television, fashion design and
architecture).
