Bohdan Holland

Bohdan Holland

IT Expert

"Working with Renat and the Unicorn Visa team was an exceptional experience. Renat guided me through every stage of the UK Global Talent Visa process with a level of structure, precision, and professionalism that's truly rare. Even when my initial application was misinterpreted by Tech Nation, Renat handled the appeal process flawlessly - calm, systematic, and deeply invested in the result. Thanks to their expertise, I've now received my endorsement and am preparing to relocate to the UK to scale my business. I'm genuinely grateful for the strategic approach, clear communication, and ability to turn a complex, stressful process into a confident, well-managed journey."

"I'm still incredibly happy that I can say I almost accidentally found Renat's website, because the entire journey we took together - the process of collecting documents and preparing the case - was so simple, clear, and pleasant that working with Renat was pure pleasure for me. He explains everything thoroughly, helps and provides moral support (which I really needed), and is always available. Besides his excellent professional approach, I got enormous satisfaction from our work together. I'm very glad that I trusted Renat and received fantastic help from him in obtaining my visa."

UX/UI Designer

"I am excited to share my experience working with the Unicorn Visa team, who helped me obtain a Global Talent visa in the Exceptional Talent category. The team put together and packaged my UX designer case in accordance with Tech Nation's requirements in a tight timeframe - one month. I liked the team's approach, how the process was structured, and the communication was pleasant. It was important for me that the team members themselves had Talent Visas and had gone through the entire process of collecting and submitting documents independently, as well as having experience living in the UK."

"I am very grateful to Renat for his work in preparing the proofs for the visa. I chose Renat because the price/quality ratio based on other people's feedback was the most positive. All the proofs were finalized with my minimal involvement in a fairly short period of time.

Despite receiving a rejection, Renat prepared an appeal the very next day and eventually I was approved!"

Global Talent Visa FAQ

Do I need a lawyer or attorney to successfully apply for a Global Talent visa?

Do I need a lawyer or attorney to successfully apply for a Global Talent visa?


To apply for a Global Talent visa in the UK, there is no need to contact a lawyer or solicitor, unlike in the US. Here, you can try to put together a package of documents on your own, guided by the official data on the websites of the UK government and approving organizations. Or you can seek help from me, a talent visa holder, and save your time and avoid mistakes and stress.


Can I apply for citizenship after a certain period of stay on the Talent Visa?

Is it possible to apply for nationality after a certain period of stay in Global Talent? After your application is approved, you are entitled to submit documents to the University of Applied Sciences. For the Exceptional Talent category – after 3 years, for the Exceptional Promise category – after 5 years. After this period, after another year, you are entitled to submit documents for citizenship.


Can I bring family members with me if I get a Global Talent visa?

Yes, having a talent visa, you are entitled to take it with you. Family members in the UK include your spouse and children under the age of 18. They will have the same rights as you, including the right to work. It is worth noting that each family member you want to take with you will have to undergo a separate visa procedure and each will have to pay for compulsory health insurance separately.


Can an e-mail be used in recommendation letters?

For Recommendation letters for the Global Talent Visa Use special e-signature services such as PandaDoc or DocuSign.


What is the difference between Exceptional Talent and Exceptional Promise?

Exceptional Promise. This category is for those who are at the beginning of their professional or creative journey, have been actively developing in their field in the last 5 years and already have some merit and achievement.


Exceptional Talent. In this category, the level and status of your awards and achievements should be more significant. Typically applicants for this visa category have over 5 years of professional experience and are recognised leaders in their field.

At your free consultation with me, I will help you decide on a category and assess your chances.


How much does a Global Talent visa cost?

It costs £456 to apply. Please note that this is not refundable if you refuse.


Submission of approved application (after endorsement) directly for visa: £152 plus £624 for each year of basic medical insurance as I explained earlier, multiply the cost by the number of years you are applying for. Also include the medical check-up, in particular fluorography, which can only be done at certain clinics. This is another $100 or so.


A 5-year visa will cost approximately £3,800 per person.
