Exceptional Talent Vs Exceptional Promise

Every candidate who decides to apply for a T1 Tech Nation Visa always spend a lot of time judging if they need to go for an Exceptional Talent Visa or an Exceptional Talent Visa. This is one of the most common question that every candidate seeks an answer for

If you compare the criteria listed and supporting documents, there are hardly any differences between these two categories. This makes it even more confusing for the candidates.

Let us take a few examples to understand the differences:

Work Experience: Many a times, candidates with more than a decade of experience generally think that they are automatically eligible for Exceptional Talent. Well, this is not always true. Exceptional Talent is not defined by years of work experience.

If you are in the field of technology and you have made substantial contribution to any open source frameworks, then you can consider yourself for Exceptional Talent.

If you are an entrepreneur and you have scaled up your company in terms of giving employment opportunities, if your firm is doing well in terms of revenue, you can definitely go for Exceptional Talent.

If you have a product startup and your product has been recognised in startup programs, then you can go for Exceptional Promise. If your product has already made a significant news globally and generating a lot of revenue, you could go for an Exceptional Talent.

If you were working for a product startup and you have made a substantial technical contribution, you should go for Exceptional Promise

However, if you are not able to make a decision, go for Exceptional Promise. Most of the times, we have noticed that Tech Nation changes your category from Promise to Talent, if they find you eligible for Exceptional Talent Endorsement.
