UK Global Talent Visa Guideline! (Theatre)

🇬🇧 Have more personal questions? Drop me an email! [email protected]

🔥This is an overview of the entire UK Global Talent Visa process for theatre (exceptional promise). If you're applying for anything in arts&culture much of this will be applicable to you. I'll be going into greater detail in later videos covering letters of support, international media, international awards, appearances, and finally Q&A. I have some personal advice I share as well!

*** UPDATE: Unfortunately the IHS health surcharge increased by 66% as of February 6, 2024 from £624 per year to £1,035.

***Correction: In your three letters of support two letters must be from nationally or internationally known arts&cultural organizations (at least one must be UK based) and the other can be from an eminent individual.

*Disclaimer: I am not a licensed immigration adviser or legal professional. I am not affiliated with UKVI or Arts Council England. Everything I've shared is based on my personal experience and research. This video should not be your final resource for your application process. Arts Council England changes their guideline from time to time so make sure everything I discuss is up to date.
