@@isaacafrica Good video. Please is the GTV only for the Tech nation? On the government website, I can see a wide range endorsement body for eg. British Academy of Humanities….please do we have a separate global talent visa for Tech nation and separate one for those in humanities? Kindly help me to understand please. Thank you.

[@ChristieUzebu]

Hi Isaac, thanks for the tips. Can please give a heads-up on how recommendation letters should be addressed. Are the recommenders adding tech nation address? What should subject look like?

[@rayhaxo]

Very well detailed. Are we also required to attach the CVs of the people recommending us to the letters?

[@isaacafrica]

Not necessarily. Simply ensure to hyperlink thier LinkedIn or Wiki profile at the end of the recommendation letters. All the best, Rayha!

Hello Isaac, thank you so much for this video. I’ve been getting my Documents ready for the Global Talent Visa Art and Culture Category since May, I’ve reached out to 3 organizations and they are ready to write me a recommendation letter but they all want me to draft the main skeleton of the letter so they fix the rest up. Pls, I will appreciate if you can help with a format or sample of a reference/recommendation letter cos the whole thing seem confusing at this point. Thank you.

Dear Isaac, thank you so much for sharing this. Could you tell me if the three mandatory reccomendation letters must be from UK based organizations? It's a crucial information for me and I d be very grateful if you could clarify this point. Thank you!

[@isaacafrica]

No, it's not a must that the three recommendations come from UK-based organizations. It could be from C-Suite executives of tech organizations in your home country. All the best!

No sir, am a fashion designer and I don't know what recommendation letters and evidence should look like for a fashion designer.

[@hammadabbasi8834]

Hi, Can you please answer one question, The experience letter given by HR be considered as a recommendation letter from previous organizations ?

[@isaacafrica]

No, that would not count as a Recommendation Letter. Each of the 3 recommendation letters for the Global Talent visa must: - Be about your Global Talent application - you cannot use a letter that was written for another reason. - Explain how the author knows the applicant; and Knows the applicant’s achievements in the relevant field; and - How the author considers the applicant shows exceptional talent or promise; and the contribution the applicant would make to the UK digital economy.

[@explorenations892]

what are the kind of evidence that we need to produce in the 10 documents ? Can it be related to the work you have done within the Organisation like (projects that you have worked on) or is it something that needs to be published ? do we have to document these evidence in words ?

[@isaacafrica]

Yes, it can be related to the work you have done within organizations. It could also be publications, as much as you can put together really.

[@mayoajums5682]

Thank you Isaac for the information. I will like to ask. Can I get two recommendations from persons in thesame organization?

[@isaacafrica]

Yes, you can

[@mayoajums5682]

Thank you

[@adeadewumi6746]

What if the person recommendin doesn't have access to company letterhead paper? Or the personal must use a letterheaded paper by all means. More of my connections are not in managerial nor has access to letterheaded. Can LinkedIn letter suffice? Secondly can screenshot of network designed and network configuration be acceptable as a networking technician?

[@isaacafrica]

Best to use letterhead. However, in some cases, a personal one could suffice as well.

[@adeadewumi6746]

@isaacafrica thanks for your response.

[@ronwillz5951]

Regarding the recommendation letter, i read your institution/University course head/leader can also write for you. Right?

[@isaacafrica]

Yes, they can, if they have proven expertise in the area of technology as well. Cheers

[@manjm7451]

Very helpful video. Thanks. Two questions please: 1. Does the recommendation has to come from the individual or from the company? Can we ask a person who is now not working at the company where we worked together? 2. Does the person have to be CxO level necessarily?

[@isaacafrica]

It has to come from the Individual, not the company. And the individual must write about how they know you, how long, your works and accomplishments and how you'd be of great value to the UK etc. Also, the person has to be a Senior Executive. All the best!

[@sherifhussein7622]

Hello Isaac .. Can I switch from skilled worker visa to global talent visa? will the IHS of my skilled worker visa be counted in the global talent or I will need to pay the health surcharge again?

[@isaacafrica]

Definitely, you can switch

@@isaacafrica and the health surcharge will I need to pay it again (the duration of the global talent that i need will be less than my skilled worker visa that I have)
