In the current climate, those with the greatest skills and talents are thinking long and hard about where they invest their energies and relocate for their careers in the long term. Political instability and global uncertainty, coupled with the enormous potential of AI, green energy, and other technologies, are making decisions around talent location ever more complex. As of 2025, the UK is enjoying a considerable boost in interest from leaders and potential leaders from around the world seeking a new home. The planned expansion of innovation and research centres such as those in Oxford and Cambridge (and the proposed link between the two) is highly attractive to those who want to know that their talents can be used to the greatest possible extent. Indeed, we are seeking a considerable amount of interest from talented individuals from the United States and other countries in the Global Talent Visa (GTV). This is precisely why we have created a range of tailored packages to make relocating to the UK for the most talented from around the world and their partners and children as easy and seamless as possible; we call this our ‘Global Talent Accelerator’ service.
What is the Global Talent Accelerator (GTA)?
The Global Talent Accelerator (GTA) is a specially tailored service that is unique to AY & J Solicitors that makes moving to the UK on a Global Talent Visa (GTV) as easy as possible. Our service helps professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors forge a streamlined path to the UK and build a future with ease.
The GTA was created because those applying for the GTV are often incredibly busy and simply want to know that their visa application is being fully taken care of. By providing hands-on, concierge-level support, we can ensure that you have a smooth and stress-free visa application process.
What is the Global Talent Visa (GTV)?
The GTV is specifically for leaders and potential leaders in the fields of academia/research, arts and culture, and digital technology. Before making a full application, candidates must receive approval from an endorsing body that they are a leader or potential leader in their area of speciality. This can be a difficult and time-consuming process.
Why use the GTA?
The GTA has a number of benefits for our clients. You can leave all of your application paperwork. We will take care of everything, moving all of the stress from your shoulders. We know that relocating to a new country can be unsettling and difficult. We will take care of all of the key considerations when moving to a new country, including helping you find a home, setting up your business, and planning to settle in the UK permanently. You can relax in the knowledge that any complexities in your journey to the UK will be taken care of, so you can focus on what matters the most—your career, growth, and future.
Once you are in the UK on a GTV, we will take you through the process of gaining UK residency (Indefinite Leave to Remain) in as little as 3-5 years.
Importantly, the GTA is about much more than immigration, we will:
- Handle your visa and immigration
- Position you as a top-tier candidate with expert profile enhancement, personal branding, recommendation letters, and industry recognition to strengthen your application.
- Assist with your business setup, including tax planning
- Provide a tailored roadmap to help you achieve your business and personal goals in the UK and
- Assist with all of the details of your international relocation, including moving, wealth management, logistics, living, and schooling
What makes the difference is that we work directly with the UK Global Talent Visa endorsing bodies and the Home Office. This means that we understand exactly what the decision makers are looking for both at the endorsement and visa stages, allowing us to tailor your application accordingly.
For those who want to make the most impact in the Global Talent Visa application, we provide a range of additional services as part of our concierge and premium packages, including:
- Strategy sessions where we help you shape a winning strategy for your applications
- VIP service that provides a dedicated point of contact who is always available to you
