Migrants who have gained prestigious awards from across the
sciences, humanities, engineering, the arts and digital technology will be able
to take advantage of changes to the Global Talent visa route.
The Home Office said those currently on the Global Talent
route - which came into force in February 2020 and has been used by thousands
of people to migrate to the UK - must apply successfully to one of six
endorsing bodies.
