To qualify for the Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) visa, one of the most important requirements is that the applicant needs to obtain an endorsement letter from one of the following recognised Designated Competent Bodies: Arts Council England, British Academy, Royal Society, Royal Academy of Engineering or Tech Nation.<\/p>\n

The Designated Competent Bodies have two sets of criteria: Exceptional Talent for applicants who have already demonstrated that they have made a significant contribution as a leader to their field, whilst Exceptional Promise is for those who are at the beginning of their careers and have shown the potential to make a significant contribution in their area of expertise.<\/p>\n

How can you apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) if you are a Tier 1 (ET) migrant?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Applicants might be able to apply for ILR once they have resided in the UK for a continuous 3 years period if the endorsement was granted under the Exceptional Talent criteria.<\/p>\n

However, if the endorsement was granted under the Exceptional Promise criteria, applicants might be able to apply for settlement once they have resided in the UK for a continuous 5 years period.<\/p>\n

Please note that applicants can combine the 3 or 5 qualifying period if they were a Tier 1 (excluding Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur and Tier 1 Post Study Work) migrant, a Tier 2 (excluding Tier 2 Intra-Company Transfer) migrant or an Innovator.<\/p>\n

Migrants can submit their settlement application up to 28 days prior to the end of the qualifying period.<\/p>\n

Endorsement requirement <\/strong><\/p>\n

If the applicant wishes to apply for settlement under the Tier 1 (ET) scheme, the Designated Competent Body should not have withdrawn the endorsement when the migrant is submitting his\/her application.<\/p>\n

In addition, the migrant must show that he\/she has earned money in the UK as a result of employment or self-employment in their area of expertise.<\/p>\n

Absences requirement <\/strong><\/p>\n

Applicants cannot spend more than 180 days outside the UK during any consecutive 12 months of the qualifying period on a rolling basis.<\/p>\n

English language requirement <\/strong><\/p>\n

Prospective ILR applicants need to meet the English language requirement at Level B1 in English speaking and listening, unless they are nationals of a majority English speaking country or holding a degree taught in English which is deemed by UK NARIC to meet the recognised standard of a Bachelor\u2019s or Master\u2019s degree or a PhD in the UK.<\/p>\n

Life in the UK test<\/strong><\/p>\n

Applicants will need to pass the Life in the UK test prior to the submission of their application. Migrants need to book the test from the following website: https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/life-in-the-uk-test<\/a>.<\/p>\n
