Frequently asked questions

Do I need a job offer for the Global Talent visa?

No. Global Talent does not require a job offer or employer sponsorship. Most applicants first need an endorsement from an approved endorsing body for their field.

What evidence do endorsing bodies look for?

Each endorsing body publishes its own criteria — typically recommendation letters plus evidence of achievements such as publications, exhibitions, products or peer recognition. We help you match your evidence to those criteria.

Can I bring my family?

Eligible partners and children can usually apply as dependants. We prepare their applications alongside yours.

How much does UK Global Talent visa cost?

Costs combine government fees, any required investment or funds, and professional fees. Government fees change from time to time, so we confirm current figures and our own fee in writing after an initial assessment.

Can you guarantee approval?

No adviser can guarantee approval — decisions are made by the relevant authorities. What we can do is assess your eligibility honestly, prepare a complete and consistent application and reduce the risk of avoidable refusals.

How do I get started?

Send us your details and an adviser will contact you to discuss your goals and the programmes that fit.

Is the first conversation an obligation?

No. The first conversation is there to help you understand your options.

Is this programme still open?
