The UK's "Gold Standard" Visa

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.

Talent Route

You are an established leader with 5+ years of impact in your field.

Promise Route

You are an emerging star (<5 years) with a trajectory of excellence.

No Degree Required

You need proof—media features, high salary, speaking engagements, or open-source contributions.
