About United Kingdomنبذة
The United Kingdom is a global hub for research, technology and the creative industries. The Global Talent visa lets leaders and emerging leaders in those fields live and work in the UK without a job offer, once endorsed by an approved body such as the Royal Society, Arts Council England or Tech Nation, or through a recognised prestigious prize. For professionals with a UK job offer, the employer-sponsored Skilled Worker route requires a degree-level role, a salary of at least £41,700 (or the going rate, if higher) and English at B2. XIPHIAS assesses which route fits your profile and manages the application from start to finish.
Global Talent: no employer sponsorship needed; an endorsement replaces the job offer.
Endorsing bodies include the Royal Society, the British Academy, the Royal Academy of Engineering, UKRI, Arts Council England and Tech Nation.
Visa decisions in about 3 weeks from outside the UK, once endorsed.
Settlement after three or five years on Global Talent, and after five years on Skilled Worker.
Recognised worldwide for education, research and business.
