From the data provided by our customers, we have been able to collect the following evidence that meets the requirements of the TechNation approval body:
Description of the projects the applicants have worked on, evidence of contribution to the growth and development of these projects.
As evidence provided screenshots with statistics, analytics on these projects, supporting this data with accompanying letters from the managers of these projects, which confirmed the contribution of applicants to the growth and development of projects. Please do not confuse the recommendation letters with accompanying letters, which are not mandatory to support the evidence. The more real visual evidence of growth you show, the stronger the case will be.
Evidence of awards for projects in which applicants have been involved.
These were awards specifically for the innovation and technological achievements of the projects. The evidence included descriptions of the awards, screenshots with news about receiving these awards with current links, photos. These evidence were also supported by accompanying letters from project managers describing the applicant’s contribution to receiving these awards.

Recommendation letters.
The letters of recommendation were competently compiled, in line with the requirements, and were signed by experts in the digital industry, the project managers on which the applicants worked with a detailed description of their contributions and achievements.
5 AdditionallyWe provided salary references that were above the market average among Product managers. This is unfortunately not the strongest and not the most convincing evidence. Therefore, if the case is generally weak, such evidence will not affect the approval of the application in any way. In the case of our customers, the salary reference was a supplement to other strong evidence.
Another mandatory item for applying for a Global Talent visa is the writing by applicants of a personal accompanying letter orPersonal Statement.
In it we summarized all the evidence collected, briefly talked about applicants, their professional achievements, which are described in more detail in each of the evidence, talked about their plans and goals in case of obtaining a visa and what benefit they as experts will bring to the industry and the UK in general. Take writing a personal statement seriously and submit information as if the examiner makes a decision only on the basis of what is read. Therefore, it is important in this letter to properly “sell” yourself as a specialist who needs the UK, which we have been able to do for our customers.
It is also very important to write yourSummarywhere all your professional experience as a product manager in the digital sphere, your achievements, awards, public activity, etc. will be displayed.
