Lawyers are calling for clear guidance from the Government on how one of the UK's flagship visa routes will be administered after the body that endorses applications for it announced its closure.

The Global Talent Visa was promoted as one of the central planks of Britain's revamped immigration system when it was launched in February 2020 to attract "the world's scientists and mathematicians", according to PM at the time, Boris Johnson, who said it would prove that post-Brexit "the UK is open to the most talented minds in the world". Applicants from individuals with expertise in digital technology were endorsed by Tech Nation, a government-backed organisation 'serving the UK scaleup tech ecosystem'. However, Tech Nation is due to close from 31st March 2023 after the Department for Culture, Media and Sport withdrew funding, leaving the visa application process in doubt.
