Hi to you!
I am Renat, a front-end developer, graduated from Oxford Brookes University in Information Systems in 2010. After graduation I returned to Kazakhstan, but in England I had a business partner with whom we worked remotely. In 2017 I learned about the Global Talent Visa, for which I went to England with my wife to develop my startup for renting robots and gadgets Wonder. All the documents needed to obtain the visa I collected myself without resorting to the services of agencies, including myself writing recommendation letters.
Therefore, if you need a visa consultation, leave your application and we will discuss all questions during the call.
The procedure for applying for a talent visa looks simple at first glance: you collect a package of documents, write recommendation letters, pay fees and wait for the decision of a special commission that will evaluate your case in points. Your professional experience and your merits will depend on which category you will pass: Exceptional Promise or Exceptional Talent. There is no significant difference in the list of documents for these categories. “The devil lies in the little things,” as they say. It is necessary to make an effort to present yourself in a beneficial light, to collect precisely those evidence of your exceptionality and talent that will be relevant. The total evidence documents should be up to 10, the volume of not more than 3 pages A4. It can be articles about you and your work, your scientific research, evidence of success of startups or in which you participate, evidence of participation in events or events as
Before you start gathering evidence of your activity, you need to prepare recommendation letters, but first find cool professionals who will be ready to confirm your professional contribution and place their signature. These should be top managers, business owners, leaders in their industry, familiar with your work. Since managers are usually very busy people, they kindly agree to sign ready letters. So prepare to write the letters yourself and include the following information:
how long and where the author of the letter knows the applicant, i.e. you;
– what, in the opinion of the author, the Global Talent Visa applicant (i.e. you) has contributed to the development of the project, business or an entire industry;
– why you are applying as a candidate for the Global Talent Visa and what is the applicant’s (i.e. yours) expected contribution to the UK’s digital economy.
It is important to describe the real facts of your professional achievements and not to exaggerate yourself, but at the same time not to diminish the dignity, so that the commission sees your real value as a professional.
By the way, the most sought-after areas in IT are financial technology, game development, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence development, so that specialists in these areas have high chances of getting a talent visa.
For the field of art, publicity, availability of works in open sources, awards and nominations are important.
For applicants in the field of science, the presence of a degree of candidate or doctor of sciences, as well as a high index of citation of scientific works in international scientific publications or sites, will be a big plus.
If you have not yet decided in what area and for what specific visa you should file documents, write me and I will try to answer the questions that you have left and evaluate your chances of obtaining a visa on a free consultation.
