Global Talent visa: Tech Nation
Tech Nation will continue to assess digital technology applications for the Global Talent visa.
皇冠体育app Home Office has completed an open procurement process and awarded Tech Nation the contract as the endorsing body for the digital technology pathway of the Global Talent visa. This contract will last for at least 3 years.
Following this decision, there will be minor changes to the way you apply for endorsement from 4 August 2025.
Applying for endorsement on or before 3 August 2025
You must complete both of these:
- the 鈥楪lobal Talent endorsement - stage 1鈥� form on GOV.UK
- the application form on the Tech Nation website
Your application will be rejected if you complete one form but not the other before 11:59pm on 3 August 2025.
Applying for endorsement on or after 4 August 2025
You only need to complete the 鈥楪lobal Talent - stage 1鈥� form on GOV.UK.
You will not need to complete the application form on the Tech Nation website. 皇冠体育app Tech Nation form will be removed and replaced by an expanded stage 1 endorsement form to simplify the process and ensure consistency across the Global Talent visa.
皇冠体育app criteria for endorsement will remain the same, though the Home Office reserve the right, in conjunction with Tech Nation, to change the qualifying criteria in future.
