As each application for endorsement is assessed by an independent panel of experts, Tech Nation cannot advise on the eligibility of individual applicants or the likelihood of their endorsement.

We invite potential candidates to refer to the Guide for the Tech Nation Visa, in particular the section on Endorsement Criteria, and consider whether and how they meet these criteria. Tech Nation cannot provide advice beyond that contained in this document.

No, you don’t. However, you will need to include a concrete plan of what you’ll be doing once you are in the UK and how you intend to contribute to the growth of the UK’s digital economy.

As part of your application form, you will be asked to submit a personal statement of up to 1000 words in length which can include details on how you intend to contribute to the growth of the UK’s digital economy, and this will play an important role in the assessment of your application.

You can apply to switch to the Global Talent Talent visa if you are already in the UK on Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 5 (Temporary worker – Government Authorised Exchange) visa.

All information on switching to the Global Talent visa can be found on the Home Office website.

Each potential applicant is best placed to assess whether the Global Talent visa is right for them, dependent on their circumstances. Tech Nation cannot advise on the suitability of the Tech Nation Visa to individual applicants’ circumstances beyond that contained in the Guidance.

We invite potential candidates to refer to the Guide for the Tech Nation Visa, in particular the section on Typical Applicants, where a range of example skills are listed. Please note that this list is not exhaustive and provides an indication of the typical applicant assessed by Tech Nation
