target="_blank">Global Talent Visa</a> enables the UK to attract the best and brightest
in a number of creative and cultural sectors, including through its fast-tracked route
for award-winning leaders in these fields.</p><p>The Government works closely with
the endorsing bodies for the route, including Arts Council England, to develop the
route to ensure it continues to meet sectors’ needs. We ensure that the route makes
it as easy as possible for those top creatives coming to the UK, which is why we introduced
the Prestigious Prizes pathway for those at the pinnacle of their career. Where individuals
do not hold one of these prizes they continue to be able to use the wider Global Talent
Visa route. The number of visas granted on this route has continued to grow from 422
between its launch in February 2020 to September 2020, to 1,709 applicants for the
year ending September 2021.</p><p>DCMS continues to work with the Home Office, across
government and with the creative sectors to look at what more can be done to further
attract talented creative professionals to live and work in the UK.</p><p> </p>
