It’s wild because I watched this video exactly 6 months ago when I first found out about this visa and if I’m being honest it was so overwhelming at first just thinking through how I would get all the references letters and evidence. But here I am having been endorsed a few days ago. To everyone thinking of applying for this visa route it’s a tough and long journey at first but just keep pushing and it eventually comes. Thank you Isaac for the inspiration, your video was the first thing I ever watched about this visa and it made me believe
@TheLinmaster If you don't mind, I would appreciate connecting with you personally to help me kickstart my process because I currently find myself in the same position you were 6months ago. Kindly let me know how to connect with you. Thank you so much.
Wow congratulations sir! You're the most hardworking person of your age that I know, and you totally deserve this and greater ones to come your way! Sending this to my TechSis right away
Hello Isaac! 4 weeks is not a long time to stumble on a timeless well scripted video like yours. Two things caught my attention: 1. I am putting together my evidences to apply for Technation visa. My concern is that I work for a Microsoft Partner in Nigeria and we support clients that uses tools like M365, Azure, Dynamics CRM, Office365. I want to know if my firm could pass for a digital technology company. 2. You made a 19.44 minutes video on a topic without breaking a sweat or looking through a book and you did justice to the topic from A-Z. All subject t matters well explained. You just unlocked a gem right there as one of your hidden talents. Credit for a job well done. I did like to this conversation a notch higher you.
Thanks for the kind words, Emeka. In your case, while your Microsoft Partner experience could serve as additional pieces of evidence, you still need to have direct experience in a product-led company. If you really want to do this, simply get to work for a Product-Led Tech Company or Startup and build some result-driven experiences there for about 6months to one year. Then
Thank you for this insightful video. How can one meet the requirements as a junior who hasn’t worked in a product led organization or haven’t shown evidence of being a leader? What steps can one take to meet these requirements in a year? Please can make a video elaborate on this based on past people experiences
Mr Isaac, I really appreciate you for this great video. I will like to know if you register your business (Afrilearn) with the CAC, if yes is it part of the document submitted?
Hi Isaac. Thanks for your clear explanation. However i want to ask, whether there are interviews for the applicants or the referee from the tech nation?
Hi Rotimi. Yes, it's DIY. Just take your time to read the info in the links I provide below, gather your evidences before starting your application. You can make it happen yourself.
Please I have gone over all your videos and will like to have a one on one meeting with you! I have once applied some months ago and my application was rejected… in which many said the appeal will be time wasting based on the things stated in the reports… but I have worked on those things stated and will like to give it a shot in few days again… I want you to give me a guide on the evidence writing and then how to apply on Tech Nation, on how to place them in the right column. I pray you see this and be of help to me 🙏
Is there requirements for proof of funds and prove of accomdation for this type of visa applications ?. What about someone who is a tech person but thosenot work in any big tech organizations?
Thanks for this great video! I have a question - are the evidences only for the last 5 years? I have some great ones but which were previous to 5 years as well. Also, would you be able to review my evidences?
I’m looking for my comment i made on this post last year, can’t find it. I saw someone that looks a lot like you at Coventry station today 23rd July, in the morning. I was inside the train already and the train stopped to pick/drop people off at Coventry.
Hello Isaac, this was very helpful. Thank you for sharing. Do you reckon someone who has shown exceptional talent in HR within a tech company can apply for this ? And also please would you be so kind as to share a step by step guide on how to apply for the tier 1 visa - from applying for the endorsement to applying for the visa itself. Which should one do first and how? Look forward to hearing from you
Hi Tomi. As long as the tech company is a product-led one, an HR talent can definitely apply! To book a private session with Isaac on your Global Talent Visa application, kindly follow this link: selar.co/1d6v Cheers
Thanks, Isaac for simplifying the process. I have a few questions. Must your referees be in the company where you demonstrated a product impact? i.e. what if they have left that company, can they still support your application? what do you tender as evidence for commercial impact? would MPR PowerPoint presentations on product growth count? Finally, could you share any checklist, template or guide?
Hi Uchechi, you’re most welcome! No, your referees don’t have to be in the company where you demonstrated a product impact. None of my two referees work where I work(ed). Only ensure they’re top leaders in a Product-Led Tech company. For commercial impact, pieces of evidence like company revenue, user base growth, etc., and particularly HOW you contributed to making it happen would do great. PowerPoint Presentations won’t count, ensure to get the actual screenshots on product growth count and the likes. Best!
Hello Isaac, Thanks for the informative video. Can the founders of a digital technology agency apply for this visa too? They build apps, websites and brands.
The health insurance charge of 624, applicants that scaled through stage 1 ,will they have to pay 624 *5 from the beginning or they just pay for year one only ...
Have got 4+ years in digital marketing and I just started working a product led company, come next year am applying for the tech nation visa .....london here I come

Hi Ifeanyi. You could consider working for a product-led startup. While there, ensure to do your best work and deliver great impact with your skills. Afterward, you'll have more than enough evidence to apply as an Exceptional Promise at the least. Rooting for you; all the best!

Hi, Thanks for this wonderful video. Could you please tell your story, like a descriptive journey of your life that helps you fill in all the requirements, I believe that would help one understand and differenciate impact from accomplishment, if it is individual, team or through an organization.
🎉 thanks for this insightful video. Please can a bank be regarded as a product led company? I'm a software engineer in a bank and I'm not sure if that passes.
A bank cannot be regarded as a product-led company. However, as a software engineer (technical talent), you are qualified to apply for the global talent visa without product-led company experience.
Thanks for the info Quick questions please; 1) What are the examples of Product-Led Tech Companies? 2) If one has less than 3yrs experience in UI UX design, is the person still eligible?
1. A product-led tech company is a company where the business IS the product. They are guided by the potential of products and product teams, and breaking down the silos between “the business” and “the product”. Examples include Piggyvest, Afrilearn, Paystack etc ((Their product/business is their Mobile App/Web platforms). 2. Yes, a person with 2-3yrs experience in UI UX design is eligible to apply under Exceptional Promise. All the best, TIz'CashOutZone!
@@theisaacola thanks for this explanation. Do you mean like the service led company like rendering the business services is the product? and I noticed all these companies you mentioned are like fintech and educational learning hub. What of if it a Real Estate Hub where customers from round the world can buy and sell Nigeria properties and the platform has a Mobile App/Web platform. Can that serve as a product led company? and one has educational background in computer science/software engineering and you have experience in digital marketing, project manager, sales, and business analysis

Hi boss, I run a tech based business but I don’t have any tech technical skin (well if trading crypto is tech then i do). Do you think a tech business owner like me can be qualified?
Kindly confirm to me, whether Barclays Eagle Labs being the new beneficiary of the grant earlier been awarded to Tech Nation, if they will henceforth be the endorsing for body for Global Talent Visa applications for Tech startups such as those in Media Tech (OTT streaming)
Hi Isaac. Thanks a lot for useful information. I have some questions and I wanna you evaluate if I would have the eligibility or not. I'm a software developer with more than 16 years experience. I have stablished my software company and we produce custom software for out stack holders in mining industry. Our small company has 6 employee . How much do you think I have the chance to apply. Thanks man for your guidance.
Based on the information you provided, it sounds like you may be eligible for the UK Global Talent visa. As a software developer with over 16 years of experience and having established your own software company, you may have a strong case for this visa. However, keep in mind that the eligibility requirements are quite specific, so it's important to carefully review them to ensure you meet all the necessary criteria. One of the main requirements for the Global Talent visa is to demonstrate exceptional talent or promise in your field. To do this, you'll need to provide evidence of your accomplishments and contributions to the software development industry, as well as any awards, publications, or other recognitions you've received. Your company's success and impact on the mining industry could also be relevant to your application. Good luck with your application! If you need further help, feel free to book a private session with me here selar.co/1d6v
I work for Government but I think i meet the eligibility criteria but I'm not an employee of a product led company but we have products we develop and implement. Do i fall within, thanks
Hello Isaac, i am happy to come across your content, 😊 you dont know how happy 😁 i am right now. I have been gathering all necessary information for the endorsement when i came across this video, i am a frontend web developer with an experience of 4years, i am currently working with the third(Fintech ) company since the inception of my career before i found out about global talent. I 🙏 will appreciate it if you will be a guilde as to why i was able to succeed on this path. I have my personal statement ready, my references (two is ready), i was told on a blog on the internet that i should provide like 4 to 5 references but i have only worked for 3 software firm. If there are additional information i can get from you i will appreciate 🙏 it.

Good afternoon Isaac, My name is Emmanuel. I have a computer science background, and I began working on my tech skills as a FRONTEND DEVELOPER since the year 2020. I work in a construction company , how can I be part of this tech visa from the UK 🇬🇧
First, you can watch more videos on this Channel to learn more about it. If you're very serious about submitting a successful, then you can book a private session with me here selar.co/1d6v
Mr. Isaac, this is an exposition, and I would sincerely beg for your guidance as I began my application for global talents Visa, thanks in anticipation for your favourable response.
Hello Isaac, Thank you so much for the informative video. I am working in a product led company as a data scientist. I have couple of doubts in regards with requirements. 1. We need 3 LOR 2. We need to write SOP 3. Mandatory and optional evidence So in mandatory and optional evidence, what we need to exactly provide? And apart from that, what else do we need to provide for endorsement ( I mean how can we provide evidence for recognition? ) Hope to hear back from you Thank you 😊
Am electrical and electronics person, am working with the foods production company as industrial electrician for 10 years,how can I apply for tech visa without, knowing anybody,please help.
I have been gathering all the requirements and i would love to proceed, but i am seeing news about the whole thing being shut down, is it still advisable to apply now?
Dear Daniel, I would like to inform you that the Global Talent visa program has not ceased its operations and will continue to function. The UK Home Office has confirmed this officially. You are welcome to submit your application at your convenience. Best regards.
Hi Isaac, Thanks a ton for your video and i must confess that it is one of the most informative. I am currently living in London on Tier 2 Skilled visa and looking to change to Global talent visa as it will be a safe coating during recession :), My company is in cost cutting mode and firing apprehensions are high. 1) I am a Fintech industry, Project manager (at director level) so just want to check if it’s worth applying in the category as not sure how they consider this profile. 2) Do you recommend taking help from immigration consultants? Varun
Hi Varun, Thanks for your message. I sincerely understand the situation regarding the high firing apprehensions across most tech firms at such a time as this. More so, I have received similar messages and requests from a good number of people this season. If you already work in the Fintech industry as a Project Manager, then you stand a strong chance of getting an endorsement for the Tier 1 Global Talent Visa which helps you to switch companies at will and evade the firing apprehension for life while increasing your earning potential and flexibility tremendously. I'd recommend signing up for a One-Hour or Full-Service session with me help you put together and submit a strong application for the Global Talent Visa. Simply follow this link selar.co/1d6v or send me an email at isaacseyi@gmail.com. Cheers
Hi Isaac I am working as a Project manager IT for the past 6 years delivering multiple products related to healthcare and Fintech. Am i eligible to get this visa?
Thanks for the video , I want to know what about it you have a personal business as well as working for a product led company in other words I did both of them which of them should be submitted - the job or the business or is there a way to submit both of them
Pls when going for the endorsement stage and we are asked to State our field of talent . As we are in the experienced product management should our field of talent be PRODUCT -LED OR PRODUCT MANAGEMENT..
Hi Isaac , very informative video , thanks alot , can you share template of personal statement & required documents check list ? Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Hello isaac. Thanks for the insight. My question is, is 6months too little for exceptional tallent. What experience do you think is minimum because they said less than 5years? Thank you.
The video still applies till date. Only difference is that the Personal Statement is no more a document to attach, but typed or copy and pasted in a form box within the application.
Hi Akinbola. Is the bank product-led? Has it also got an App/Web platform where customers use its services? If your answers are YES, you're good to go!
The “digital technology sector” or “product-led digital technology companies” are defined as businesses that provide a proprietary digital technical service/product/platform/hardware as their primary revenue source. The creation of software, processing/storage of data, or the creation/application of technical computing hardware is often a central aspect of their business model. [This excludes general consultancies, outsourcing and technology-related consultancy groups focused on process/service delivery or solutions/systems architecture. Such firms do not meet the guidelines, particularly those primarily serving large corporate or multinational corporate (MNC) customers. Work at specific agencies may be considered if the agencies are extremely focused on product innovation in a specific industry and are well-recognized for their contributions to that industry.]
Hi Bro, Can I pay the 456 and 152 at stage one for the endorsement, and letter pay for. the Health surcharge? or we pay both at the time of application?
Kindly I need help like very urgently. I got a gob in Jersey. Which my intevew went very successful. On Wednesday I should resive offer letter. And I was told to check an guest house or share accommodation for a start they will pay since they don't have there on accommodation. Kindly if you no any Agency who owns shared houses . Kindly send me the link or the email. Still if there is guest house that people stay and pay monthly . Kindly send me the details and I will such it, remember is in Jersey
Hi Isaac, thanks for this video. I have a couple of questions. 1. After you get the endorsement from Tech Nation, how soon must you apply for the visa? 2. After your visa is approved, how soon must you move to the UK?
Hi, Please, can you provide a sample personal statement you used? Also, when you said product led companies. Are you talking about the likes of teamApt, interswitch? Lastly, can someone who works presently at Microsoft as a software engineer write a recommendation letter if you have both led a role in other digital business before or must it come from CEO? Thank you

@@lifestyleestatelandsandhou722 Absolutely this qualifies too, as long as you have reached some fair numbers with the Real Estate product (Mobile App/Web platform) All the best!
Also, for exclusive guide, follow this link selar.co/1d6v
Does this mean that the banking sector is inclusive?
Hi boss,
I run a tech based business but I don’t have any tech technical skin (well if trading crypto is tech then i do).
Do you think a tech business owner like me can be qualified?
If the tech business has great numbers and you also have a product-led tech experience
Does working in a bank count as valid experience?
Kindly confirm to me, whether Barclays Eagle Labs being the new beneficiary of the grant earlier been awarded to Tech Nation, if they will henceforth be the endorsing for body for Global Talent Visa applications for Tech startups such as those in Media Tech (OTT streaming)
I saw on their page they ask for CV and publication history, what do they mean by publication history again.
Hi Isaac. Thanks a lot for useful information. I have some questions and I wanna you evaluate if I would have the eligibility or not. I'm a software developer with more than 16 years experience. I have stablished my software company and we produce custom software for out stack holders in mining industry. Our small company has 6 employee . How much do you think I have the chance to apply. Thanks man for your guidance.
Based on the information you provided, it sounds like you may be eligible for the UK Global Talent visa. As a software developer with over 16 years of experience and having established your own software company, you may have a strong case for this visa. However, keep in mind that the eligibility requirements are quite specific, so it's important to carefully review them to ensure you meet all the necessary criteria.
One of the main requirements for the Global Talent visa is to demonstrate exceptional talent or promise in your field. To do this, you'll need to provide evidence of your accomplishments and contributions to the software development industry, as well as any awards, publications, or other recognitions you've received. Your company's success and impact on the mining industry could also be relevant to your application.
Good luck with your application!

I work for Government but I think i meet the eligibility criteria but I'm not an employee of a product led company but we have products we develop and implement. Do i fall within, thanks

Hello Isaac,
Thank you so much for the informative video.
I am working in a product led company as a data scientist.
I have couple of doubts in regards with requirements.
1. We need 3 LOR
2. We need to write SOP
3. Mandatory and optional evidence
So in mandatory and optional evidence, what we need to exactly provide?
And apart from that, what else do we need to provide for endorsement ( I mean how can we provide evidence for recognition? )
Hope to hear back from you
Thank you 😊
Bro did you apply
Hi Isaac, thanks a lot for the detailed video. Do I need proof of funds for the visa application?
Greetings Violet. No, you do not need Proof of Fund. Only a strong application as the focus is on your talent and expertise. All the best!
Thanks for sharing.. does an organization that build digital products for third party pass as product led
The location does not matter as long as the company qualifies as a Product-Led company
Am electrical and electronics person, am working with the foods production company as industrial electrician for 10 years,how can I apply for tech visa without, knowing anybody,please help.
what about IT professional working in IT department of a manufacturing organization? can he apply?
I have been gathering all the requirements and i would love to proceed, but i am seeing news about the whole thing being shut down, is it still advisable to apply now?
Dear Daniel,
I would like to inform you that the Global Talent visa program has not ceased its operations and will continue to function. The UK Home Office has confirmed this officially. You are welcome to submit your application at your convenience.
Best regards.
@@theisaacola Thank you very much. Got your message on LinkedIn as well. I have my letters, currently puting together my evidences. Thanks.
Hi Isaac, Thanks a ton for your video and i must confess that it is one of the most informative.
I am currently living in London on Tier 2 Skilled visa and looking to change to Global talent visa as it will be a safe coating during recession :), My company is in cost cutting mode and firing apprehensions are high.
1) I am a Fintech industry, Project manager (at director level) so just want to check if it’s worth applying in the category as not sure how they consider this profile.
2) Do you recommend taking help from immigration consultants?
Varun
Hi Varun,
Thanks for your message.
I sincerely understand the situation regarding the high firing apprehensions across most tech firms at such a time as this. More so, I have received similar messages and requests from a good number of people this season.
If you already work in the Fintech industry as a Project Manager, then you stand a strong chance of getting an endorsement for the Tier 1 Global Talent Visa which helps you to switch companies at will and evade the firing apprehension for life while increasing your earning potential and flexibility tremendously.
I'd recommend signing up for a One-Hour or Full-Service session with me help you put together and submit a strong application for the Global Talent Visa. Simply follow this link selar.co/1d6v or send me an email at isaacseyi@gmail.com.
Cheers
@@theisaacola Thanks a ton Isaac, I will reach out to you once i start the process. 👍
Hi Isaac I am working as a Project manager IT for the past 6 years delivering multiple products related to healthcare and Fintech. Am i eligible to get this visa?
What are the requirements for endorsement.
Thanks for the video , I want to know what about it you have a personal business as well as working for a product led company in other words I did both of them which of them should be submitted - the job or the business or is there a way to submit both of them
Good for you. You are free to use both of them. That way, you stand a better chance as you have more pieces of evidence.
Is a company that specializes in educational technology (EdTech) a product-led digital company? For example, platforms like Udacity and Afrilearn
On point!
Hi Isaac,
Thank you very much for this detailed video.
Will a recommendation letter from a senior member at General Electric suffice?
General Electric is into the digital industry so yes, a recommendation letter from a senior member of GE would do just great!
@@theisaacola Thank you very much!
@@theisaacola Hi Isaac, I am here again :) please do you have a guide or template on how to present the evidences? if yes, please do you mind sharing?
@@husseinayesufu5451 Sure, simply follow this link selar.co/1d6v
Pls when going for the endorsement stage and we are asked to State our field of talent . As we are in the experienced product management should our field of talent be PRODUCT -LED OR PRODUCT MANAGEMENT..
Simply Product Management
Hello Isaac,
Please, do you pay for the IHS fee before applying for endorsement from Tech Nation?
No, you don't. You only get to pay for IHS after you have gotten endorsed.
Hi Isaac , very informative video , thanks alot , can you share template of personal statement & required documents check list ?
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Hello isaac. Thanks for the insight. My question is, is 6months too little for exceptional tallent. What experience do you think is minimum because they said less than 5years?
Thank you.
For exceptional promise, 6 months of highly impactful work in a product led tech company is fair enough if you can tell your story very well
@@theisaacola thanks for the info.
Hi Isaac I will love to have you to speak to students as a group on Global Talent Visa Awareness.

Can I ask at the moment how can one apply for this visa in October 2022. Any recent link to begin application would be much appreciated!!
Hi Nduka, please see the description of this video for all the links you resquested. All the best!
The video still applies till date. Only difference is that the Personal Statement is no more a document to attach, but typed or copy and pasted in a form box within the application.
If we were already in uk on dependent visa, then we can apply for UK global talent visa?
Yes, you can switch, provided you meet the GTV requirements.
@@theisaacola but it was saying like it was going to stop after march 2023, is that true?
Hi, thank you for this video. Can IT department of a bank be taken as a product led tech company with QA/tester role for all products to ve deployed
Hi Akinbola. Is the bank product-led? Has it also got an App/Web platform where customers use its services? If your answers are YES, you're good to go!
The “digital technology sector” or “product-led digital technology companies” are defined as businesses that provide a proprietary digital technical service/product/platform/hardware as their primary revenue source. The creation of software, processing/storage of data, or the creation/application of technical computing hardware is often a central aspect of their business model.
[This excludes general consultancies, outsourcing and technology-related consultancy groups focused on process/service delivery or solutions/systems architecture. Such firms do not meet the guidelines, particularly those primarily serving large corporate or multinational corporate (MNC) customers.
Work at specific agencies may be considered if the agencies are extremely focused on product innovation in a specific industry and are well-recognized for their contributions to that industry.]
Hi Bro, Can I pay the 456 and 152 at stage one for the endorsement, and letter pay for. the Health surcharge? or we pay both at the time of application?

Hi Isaac, thanks for this video. I have a couple of questions.
1. After you get the endorsement from Tech Nation, how soon must you apply for the visa?
2. After your visa is approved, how soon must you move to the UK?
Hi Precious. It's within 3 months. But I'd advise you to apply for your visa almost immediately your endorsement comes in. Best!
@@theisaacola Thank you!
Is the application fees refundable if one is not able to scare through
No, it's not
Hello Isaac. Are there guaranteed jobs in the UK for anyone who successfully get the visa endorsement
There are more than enough jobs as long as you're good at what you do.
@@theisaacola Wow! This sounds nice. Please your Twitter handle will love to connect 🙏
And Linkedin
Hi,
Please, can you provide a sample personal statement you used?
Also, when you said product led companies. Are you talking about the likes of teamApt, interswitch?
Lastly, can someone who works presently at Microsoft as a software engineer write a recommendation letter if you have both led a role in other digital business before or must it come from CEO?
Thank you
Yes, Interswitch, TeamApt are good examples of Product-Led and a recommendation letter from someone at Microsoft is great. All the best!
I sent a personal message to you on your Instagram, but you did not respond. It's been over three weeks now. Would you kindly reply, please? Tnx
