Researchers and those providing core technical support to projects funded by an eligible funder may be eligible for a Global Talent visa via the accelerated Endorsed Funder route
The list of 'endorsed funders' has recently been updated to include:
Advanced Research and Invention Agency
Anthony Nolan
Medical Research Foundation (UK)
National Cyber Security Centre (UK)
Pancreatic Cancer UK
Prostate Cancer Research
Prostate Cancer UK
The Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre (UK)
The Global Talent visa route is a more flexible visa route and often more cost effective than Skilled Worker sponsorship. We encourage departments to consider the Global Talent fast track routes before proceeding with a Skilled Worker application.
