I have represented writers applying the Global Talent visa through the Arts Council pathway. The key point is you need two of the three criteria, so:
1. Media recognition: Must be in the form of:
- Detailed independent critiques
- Reviews OR
- Critical evaluations
2. Proof of appearances / distribution
3. International award of excellence.
- This is actually surprisingly ‘easy’ to get. The definition is very broad. Don’t confuse this with the ‘main’ awards category - that includes the Booker prize etc!
The perfect way to hit all three is to get nominated for, or win, or be a finalist for a competition. It does not have to be a huge one to be accepted as an ‘international award of excellence’. Then, off the back of that, facilitate or encourage a critical appraisal of your work, which is published. Then, in parallel, have a booking (again, you can facilitate or encourage this, or your agent can), of you giving a reading. This can be your ‘appearance’. You would need more than one of these. This way, you hit all three in one go!

Hey Tom, I have a super quick question. I've compiled all my evidence for the Global Talent VISA and will likely apply for Exceptional Talent. My letters of support are strong, as is some of the evidence-but I was wondering if I apply for Talent, and it's rejected, will I have to reapply again for Promise? I saw your video recently regarding a client of yours who had been upgraded-but wasn't sure if this was done automatically, or they had to reapply. Thanks!
