Ambott today announced the launch of a free online eligibility check for people considering a talent visa. The new eligibility check takes around ten minutes and covers the US, UK and Australian talent routes: the EB-1A, the Global Talent visa and the National Innovation Visa (subclass 858). It gives prospective applicants an early read on which route suits their record before they commit time or money to an application. Every submission is reviewed by a strategist.
What the check asks
The check asks nine questions, one at a time, about the applicant's work and the evidence behind it:
- Which visa the applicant is most focused on, with an option for those who are not sure
- Their field: digital technology, research and academia, science, business, arts and culture, or sports
- Their specialisation, in their own words
- Their highest degree
- Their years of full-time experience in the field
- What they can document today, such as awards, professional memberships, media coverage, judging the work of others, original contributions or patents, publications, high pay or funding, and leadership roles
- Who has recognised their work in the last five years, for example through awards, media, institutions or invitations to judge or speak
- Their verifiable annual income, as a range
- Contact details, together with a CV, which is required
The questions reflect what talent visas weigh. A PhD or a famous award is not required for any of the three routes; decision-makers look at the overall record, including citations, judging, press, leadership, pay and impact on the field.
Reviewed by a strategist
Each submission, together with the CV, is reviewed by a strategist, who follows up with the applicant on the route that appears to fit their record. Contact details and the CV are used only to assess and follow up on the answers.
The check is an early read, not a decision. It does not replace a full assessment, and it cannot predict an outcome. Approval is never guaranteed, and decisions rest with the immigration authority or endorsing body in each country.
Who it is for
The check is designed for researchers, founders, creators and specialists who think their work may qualify for a talent route but are unsure which country will recognise it, or whether their evidence is ready. It also suits applicants who have already settled on one country and want a view on how their record reads before they go further.
What happens next
Applicants who want to go further can book a free consultation, which covers an eligibility assessment, a profile diagnosis and a strategic roadmap. Those who go on to work with Ambott receive an assessment against all three routes with a written answer, followed by route selection, a gap plan and the file build. Legal advice and filing are handled by licensed professionals in the relevant country. The eligibility check is available now on the Ambott website.
