tier 1 - exceptional talent visa

The Tier 1 Exceptional Talent visa is designed to attract foreign citizens with exceptional talent in the fields of tech, science, humanities, engineering, and the arts.

In order to apply for a Tier 1 Exceptional Talent visa, the applicant will first need to receive an endorsement from one of the Five Designated Competent Bodies as a leader with exceptional talent or an emerging leader within its own particular field, which will take up to 8 weeks in total to be processed. If successfully endorsed by a DCB, the applicant will receive an email from the Home Office with a copy of endorsement letter. Having been successfully endorsed by a DCB, the applicant must then make a visa application within three months of endorsement. Once in the UK, holders of this visa have very limited work restrictions. They can work for an employer or be self-employed; they can also start businesses of their own and/or work freelance in their expert field as endorsed by a competent body.
