Global Talent Stage 2

Hi All,

I am in a process of applying for Global Talent stage 2 (switching from Tier 2 ICT – Global Talent).

I understand that main applicant can apply for ILR after 3 years and dependents after 5 years (if meeting the requirements)

I would appreciate a response on my below two questions please.

1) Will it be fine if the Main applicant applies for 3 years Global Talent visa and dependent apply for 5 years initially ? Or should the visa duration for the main applicant and dependent be the same ?

2) After 3 years if the Main applicant applies for ILR then can dependent continue on the same Global Talent dependent visa or they need to change it to ILR dependent ?

Many Thanks

1. It will be the same visa duration for everyone applying. A PBS dependent cannot have a visa granted that exceeds the validity of the main visa holder

2. They can extend their PBS dependent visas if you get ilr.

Thanks for your prompt response.

Now I understand that visa duration should be the same for all.

If we all apply for a 5 year visa now and later after 3 years, I (main applicant) apply for ILR then can my dependents continue on the same visa until 5th year or they need to change to ILR dependent visa, the moment I get the ILR ?

They continue in their gtv dependent visas.
