The Global Talent category, described in detail, here, is for talented and promising individuals in various sectors to work in the UK. It is contained in "Appendix Global Talent", which was introduced less than a year ago.

Changes are being brought in by the Statement of Changes HC617 with effect from 6th October 2021 to the endorsement criteria and evidential requirements in various categories. The Explanatory memorandum says these are "to reflect feedback and recommendations from the endorsing bodies for the route".
