The Only UK Visa That Doesn't Tie You to a Boss.
No sponsorship. No job offer. Total freedom to work, build, or lead in the UK's digital economy.
Ideal For: Tech Founders, Senior Engineers, Product Leaders, & Researchers.
What Is It?
Instead of being tied to an employer, you get endorsed by a prestigious body (like Tech Nation) based on your career track record. It is the only visa that allows you to change jobs or start a business without permission.
Who Is This For?
This is not for junior employees. This is for the top 10% of talent in Technology, Science, or Arts.
