Most companies bring their top employees to work for them in the UK on a standard Skilled Worker visa. Due to its many restrictions, the Skilled Worker visa can create an unnecessary amount of immigration stress for your most gifted employees. By contrast, the Global Talent visa allows highly talented global experts to live and work in the UK with fewer restrictions and more life satisfaction
It also places no sponsorship or additional compliance obligations on employers. Having a Global Talent Visa Incentive programme at your company allows you to support your star employees by backing their Global Talent visa as a unique company perk.

testimonial
Celebrating our alumni
“My employer fully backed my Global Talent visa application. Compared to the Skilled Worker visa, the Global Talent visa has far fewer restrictions. This has helped me minimise immigration-related stress and I felt really valued by my employer. Evgenia’s nuanced understanding of the eligibility requirements and support throughout the application process has been invaluable. I would recommend Evgenia and her team to anyone considering the Global Talent visa as their preferred pathway to relocation to the UK.“
