PDF, 1.85 MB, 48 pages

The Global Talent visa is an important part of the UK’s offer for talented and promising individuals in the fields of science and research, digital technology and the arts.

It was introduced in February 2020 to replace the Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) visa and make the process smoother, faster and more attractive for exceptionally talented people to live and work in the UK.

To understand how the visa is working, the Home Office commissioned Ipsos to conduct mixed-methods research with successful Global Talent visa holders.

This research is part of wider evaluation work by the Home Office on the visa.

The research included a telephone and online survey completed by 307 successful visa holders, and 20 in-depth telephone interviews.
