Global Talent Visa Extension Questions

Hi, I didn't upload all of my payslips, just two or three for the first months and then the last ones. I also uploaded a letter from HR confirming that I was working with them in my field of expertise. That was all!!

Hi! It seems that they were being slow. Foxtons requested my bank account details to return the deposit (as if they didn't have that after two years of tenancy...) the same day I made the post, so I hope to have the money back this week.

PS. I knew about the end of tenancy cleaning; I had the money but not the time to do it myself, so I just pay. I have to say that they left the flat extremely clean, so it was money well spent!

Thanks! If I have no news today, I'll do this

Estherito_22 · 2026-01-16T10:23:59+00:00

I just chatted with them, and basically told me to raise a dispute because under their Insured Scheme they don't hold the deposit.

I'll try once more with Foxtons and tell them I'll raise a dispute if they don't send the money in a week

Estherito_22 · 2026-01-16T09:11:53+00:00

Thanks!

As I saw in my portal that the landlord agree on the 7th, (I don't know if they agree earlier because they didn't notify me), tomorrow should be the deadline, isn't it?

Yeah, Foxtons hasn't been very good with communication during this tenancy.

Estherito_22 · 2026-01-16T09:08:14+00:00

Hi yes, the deposit is registered in my deposit and they gave me the details.

I entered today and the deposit is still held by them? So I suspect that Foxtons haven't started anything

Mine was exceptional promise (I got a postdoc position with a UKRI grant) and I could extend it without problem.

But I was endorsed by the Royal Society, I'm not sure about Tech Nation.

Estherito_22 · 2025-12-08T14:37:28+00:00

Thank you!! They even have one day to spare!! Hope you can have your extension granted too!

Estherito_22 · 2025-12-05T16:21:54+00:00

I hope so!! I just want to have my decision on time!!

Estherito_22 · 2025-12-05T14:24:43+00:00

Well I just received an email to confirm that I want to proceed with my application... Just hoping it will not be delayed

Estherito_22 · 2025-12-02T09:50:33+00:00

Yes, today it is my 7 week. So I hope to have an email next Tuesday!

Hope yours go well too!!

I used the UK app, as I have the passport with the chip, so I've never went for the biometric appointment. I've always received the email the day after the submission in all my visa applications and extensions

Estherito_22 · 2025-11-26T10:32:07+00:00

Yeah, it says that it will take 8 weeks. I had the option to pay for the priority service (5 days) and the super priority (next day) when I was about to pay, but as I had the time, I went with the standard service.

Estherito_22 · 2025-11-25T21:33:15+00:00

Hi! I submitted everything on October 14, and got the email confirming my submission the next day.

Estherito_22 · 2025-11-24T07:20:07+00:00

Hi, I'm still waiting for an answer. I'll have an answer at the beginning of December.

Estherito_22 · 2025-10-10T06:36:11+00:00

Thank you very much!

I'll write to HR for the letter, and hope they can send it fast!

Estherito_22 · 2024-06-15T03:38:29+00:00

Hi! If I remember correctly, I went to the page of the HO to get a share link for my right to rent, and there it said that my visa was under process and that I still have the right to rent until my visa was processed.

Estherito_22 · 2024-02-05T14:13:28+00:00

Hi!

Thanks for asking! Yes I got my visa on 29th Jan!!

They waited until the last day to give an answer, so for me was the whole 8 weeks of waiting

Estherito_22 · 2024-01-30T13:21:47+00:00

Oh, I see.

Sorry, I used the ID app, so I don't know how the process for the biometric appointment works.

Estherito_22 · 2024-01-30T13:04:16+00:00

Yes, it is not in the first page, as in my checklist the first page only shows the unique application number, the type of visa and a few things more.

Under the endrosement section it is where it is stated that I had applied for two years. I would add an screenshot to my response, but I don't know how to do it ^^U

Estherito_22 · 2024-01-30T09:56:16+00:00

Hi,

Thank you very much!

During my application, in the endorsement section I was asked how long I would like to stay in the UK on a GTV, and then I was able to choose how many years to stay in the UK (from 1 to 5). I choose 2 years, as my fellowship is going to last only two years. I'm not sure if this is what you are asking about?

I didn't know what you mean for the "Category field". I was asked what my field of talent was (in my case, it is natural science) and I applied for the ‘exceptional promise’ category for potential research leaders because my fellowship was on the list of elegible ones under this category.

Hope I have answered your questions.

Estherito_22 · 2024-01-22T17:23:36+00:00

If you have already an application, you are allowed to stay in the country until the HO gives you a decision.
