Frequently Asked Questions
To apply for the UK Global Talent Visa after receiving your endorsement, you must use the “Global Talent Visa” application form provided through the UK Government’s official visa application system. This form is specifically for new applicants applying from inside or outside the UK.
For ILR as a Global Talent Visa holder, you must use the SET(O) – “Settle in the UK in various immigration categories” form.
Not always, it depends on eligibility timelines. Main Applicant (Global Talent – Talent route): Eligible for ILR after 3 years. Main Applicant (Global Talent – Promise route): Eligible after 5 years.
Dependants: Regardless of whether the main applicant is on the Talent or Promise route, dependants become eligible only after 5 years of residence in the UK.
No, but the process is almost back-to-back.
Dependants must first obtain ILR (usually after 5 years in the UK).
After ILR is granted, they can apply for British citizenship the next day, provided they meet residence and character requirements.
ILR and citizenship applications cannot be submitted simultaneously, but they can be done immediately one after the other.
