The Global Talent Visa Network is a platform for Global Talent visa recipients to connect, share expertise, and create new partnerships to advance UK engineering.
The network celebrates engineers from around the world, who have moved to the UK under the Global Talent visa. It offers them support, resources and opportunities designed to help them thrive within the UK's engineering ecosystem. And it allows Global Talent visa recipients to connect with fellow engineers, exchange stories and expertise, and discuss topics relevant to their professional journey.
What does the network offer?
- opportunities to connect with fellow visa recipients.
- events and updates tailored to your professional journey in the UK.
- access to Academy resources and support.
Community events will launch towards the end of 2026, and we're inviting Global Talent visa recipients to join us. If you have already received a Global Talent visa, then we want to hear from you.
Please submit your name and endorsement details through the form below to express your interest in joining the network.
The registration process
To ensure the community remains aligned with its intended audience, we need to verify your endorsement details.
The process for doing so can vary depending on whether you were endorsed by the Royal Academy of Engineering or another Endorsing Body.
Endorsed by the Royal Academy of Engineering?
Your endorsement can be verified internally. We will ask you to confirm your endorsement name and details so we can check your name against our records.
Endorsed by a different endorsing body?
Due to UK data sharing and GDPR requirements, the registration process may be slightly more complex and may require additional information or action from you. Once you submit the form, the team will be in touch with the next steps.
Any additional data provided during registration will be used only for the purpose of verifying your endorsement and will be deleted after 14 days.
Once your endorsement is confirmed, you will be invited to join the Global Talent Visa Network and can register for network-exclusive resources and events.
