The UK Global Talent visa replaced the Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) visa category in the month of February 2020.

The UK Global Talent visa is for talented and promising professionals in sectors such as Science, Medicine, Humanities, Engineering, Arts, and Technology, who are planning to work in the UK.

This visa leads to settlement in the UK after 3 years if the applicant has been considered a talented candidate, or 5 years if you have been considered a promising candidate.

Upon completing the settlement application, and the required stay duration in the UK, the applicant then gets eligible to apply for British citizenship.
