Exceptional Talent visa (Tier 1)
You can no longer apply for a Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) visa.
You may be able to apply for a Global Talent visa if:
- you are a recognised leader (exceptional talent)
- you are an emerging leader (exceptional promise)
- you have a Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) endorsement
If you already have a Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) visa
You can still apply:
- to settle in the UK (indefinite leave to remain)
- for family members to join you
- to extend your visa - you will need to apply for a Global Talent visa instead
You can apply for settlement once you have been in the UK for:
- 3 years with an exceptional talent visa
- 3 years with an exceptional talent endorsement in science
- 5 years with an exceptional promise endorsement in either arts and culture or digital technology
