UK Global Talent Visa - Lead to British Citizenship

Apply for the UK Global Talent Visa from India

The Global Talent visa offers an exceptional pathway for Indian professionals who have achieved excellence or show great promise in fields like research, arts and culture, or digital technology. This visa allows talented individuals to work, live, and contribute to the UK’s thriving professional environment. Applicants must be 18 years or older to qualify under this route.

Who Can Apply?

There are two ways to apply. If you’ve won a globally recognised award listed as a prestigious prize by the UK Home Office, you can apply directly for the visa without needing a separate endorsement. However, if you haven’t won such a prize, you’ll need to first secure an endorsement from a recognised UK body relevant to your field. This step confirms your status as a leader or potential leader.

Visa Duration and Settlement Options

The visa can be granted for up to 5 years initially, and extensions are allowed in 1 to 5-year increments as per your requirement. There is no restriction on how long you can stay in the UK, and after 3 to 5 years, you may be eligible for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), subject to meeting the necessary criteria. ILR allows you to live, work, and access certain benefits permanently in the UK.

Application Procedure from India

Indian applicants can apply online for the Global Talent visa. If you require an endorsement, you must apply and receive it before proceeding to the visa stage. The endorsement is valid for 3 months, and your visa application must be submitted within this time. You will also need to attend a biometric appointment or verify your identity through the UK Immigration app, based on your passport type.

Documents and Processing Time

You’ll be required to submit your valid passport, TB test results (if applicable), proof of identity, and if relevant, consent from the agency if you recently received a UK government scholarship. Make sure all non-English documents are accompanied by certified translations. Visa decisions typically take 3 weeks if you apply from outside the UK, and 8 weeks if applying from within.

Fees and Additional Costs

The application fee is £766. If you're applying with an endorsement, the fee is split into £561 for the endorsement and £205 for the visa. If you're applying through the prestigious prize route, you pay the full amount at once. Each dependent must pay the same fee. Additionally, a healthcare surcharge of £1,035 per year is payable per person, covering your access to the UK’s National Health Service.

The Home Office will carefully scrutinise an application for any long term or temporary work visa. If it does not consider that the visa application is a genuine or if it considers that any of the other requirements have not been met, the application will fall for refusal. It is therefore essential that the application is prepared thoroughly and carefully.
