Hi Tom! Could you please suggest, do Tier 2 dependants need to switch their visas in case the main applicant switches to Tier 1 Exceptional Talent? Thanks in advance.

Hi tom i am currently in uk on post study work visa can i get global talent visa i have no work experience.

[@TomBradford]

Hello Devesh Fuse, your eligibility in applying for the Global Talent visa does not necessarily base on your previous work experience if you could secure a endorsement in the academia research, art and culture as well as digital technology fields to prove your leader characteristic. That said, pro-work activities / involvements in the abovementioned fields would place you in a more advantageous position in getting the endorsement, which is a subgoal to be met before the application could start. Hope this helps. Best, Tom
