Immigration to UK

Global Talent Visa

The Global Talent Visa is designed for highly skilled individuals who are leaders or emerging leaders in their field, including science, engineering, the arts, and technology. This visa does not require a job offer or a COS, but you must be endorsed by an approved organization.

Criteria to Meet for the Global Talent Visa:

Endorsement: You must be endorsed by a recognized UK organization, such as:

• Tech Nation (for digital technology)
• The Royal Society (for science)
• Arts Council England (for arts and culture)
• UK Research and Innovation (for research and academia)

Exceptional Talent or Promise: You need to demonstrate that you have exceptional talent (for leaders) or promise (for emerging leaders) in your field.

English Language Requirement: You must meet the English language proficiency requirement (usually 10 points).

Funds: You need to prove that you have enough funds to support yourself while in the UK (usually 10 points).

Start-Up Visa

The Start-Up Visa is ideal for entrepreneurs who want to start their first business in the UK. This visa does not require a COS, but you must have an innovative business idea that is endorsed by an approved UK organization.

Criteria to Meet for the Start-Up Visa:

• Endorsement: You must have an endorsement from a recognized UK organization (such as a university or business accelerator) that supports your innovative business idea.
• English Language Requirement: You must prove that you meet the required level of English proficiency (10 points).

• No Previous UK Business Experience: This visa is for individuals who are starting their first business in the UK.

Innovator Visa

The Innovator Visa is designed for experienced entrepreneurs who want to set up or run a business in the UK. Unlike the Start-Up Visa, the Innovator Visa is for individuals who already have a proven track record of business success and have access to investment funds.

Criteria to Meet for the Innovator Visa:

• Endorsement: Like the Start-Up Visa, you need an endorsement from an approved UK organization, such as a business incubator or accelerator.
• Investment Funds: You must have access to at least £50,000 to invest in your business, although this requirement may be waived if you have an existing business or are scaling an innovative idea.
