About the route
The UK Global Talent Visa in Digital Technology allows highly skilled tech talent to live and work in the UK for up to five years. It is a two-stage process: first you must be endorsed for Exceptional Talent or Exceptional Promise against strict criteria set by the endorsing body — then you can apply for the Global Talent Visa itself.
Skill Bridge specialises in Stage 1 endorsement strategy and preparation — evidence architecture, narrative clarity, and expert review so you submit with confidence.
