Join us as we simplify the essential paperwork needed for this exciting trip with TRAAVU.

The Global Tech Visa, also known as the Tech Nation Visa, is a recognised opportunity for outstanding IT talent from all over the globe to make their contribution to the UK's dynamic digital scene. This visa opens the door for entrepreneurs, workers, and visionaries in tech-related fields including artificial intelligence, finance, cybersecurity, and gaming to further their careers in the vanguard of the global digital economy.

The visa, which is administered by Tech Nation, a recognised Home Office endorsing organisation, enables you to contribute your cutting-edge skills, creativity, and invention to the UK's leading position in technological development.

The Essential Documents for Your Journey

To embark on this exciting journey, TRAAVU guides you through the documents needed to make your Global Tech Visa application a success:

  • Check your eligibility with our Eligibility Wizard: The first step is to take our Eligibility Assessment, which helps determine your chances of getting endorsed.

  • Complete the Tech Nation Visa Application Form: The Tech Nation Visa application form, which is accessible on Tech Nation's website, serves as the starting point of your trip. You have the opportunity to clearly express how you want to contribute to the UK's digital technology sector in the Personal Statement section of this form. Answer the questions asked, stating your reasons for choosing the UK, your chosen profession, the area or city where you plan to live, and any potential effects your work may have on the digital economy of the UK.

  • Comprehensive Curriculum Vitae (CV): In your CV, you describe your tech journey and accomplishments. Describe your working background, notable publications, and achievements in detail. Keep in mind that clarity is essential; keep your CV to no more than three sides of A4 paper.

  • Three Letters of Recommendation: These letters have to be written by respectable persons who are recognised as authorities in the field of digital technology. They should possess in-depth knowledge of your work over the course of at least 12 months. These letters must speak directly to your request for a Global Tech Visa and describe how the writer is familiar with your work, your successes, how you display exceptional talent, and the impact you'll have on the UK's digital economy. Each letter must be typed, dated, and signed, either by the author themselves or by a representative from the endorsing organisation. Ensure they provide contact details, credentials, and, if applicable, the organization's logo and registered address.

  • Prepare a range of proofs to show your eligibility: You may use up to ten pieces of evidence for eligibility criteria. You will need to provide at least two documents showcasing your recognition as a leading or potential talent and four documents that illustrate your proficiency in essential skills. Remember, each piece of evidence should not exceed three sides of A4 paper.

Your evidence could include:

  • Records of product-led tech company growth

  • Evidence of contributions to open source projects

  • Proof of significant impact outside your regular role

  • Evidence of speaking at tech events

  • Published materials in professional publications

  • Proof of high salary or remuneration

  • Evidence of mentorship or academic contributions

Tips for a Successful Application

  • Authenticity Matters: Ensure your documents are legible, original, and free from link-only content. Provide authorised translations for non-English documents.

  • Unleash Your Uniqueness: Craft an application that is uniquely yours. Avoid templates and make your story shine.

  • Showcase Impact: Your evidence should focus on showcasing your impact, whether it's through innovation, recognition, or contributions to the sector.

  • Avoid AI Assistance: Your application should be a reflection of your work, created by you. Using AI tools is not acceptable.

  • Verifiable Evidence: Ensure any claims about your work come with verifiable evidence, such as screenshots, press clippings, or performance data.
