Visa Consultancy
Visa Support for Global Talent Programs
At Researcher Connect , we guide researchers, academics, and innovators to secure extraordinary ability and global talent visas in countries such as the USA (EB-1A), UK (Global Talent), Australia (Global Talent Independent), Canada, France, UAE, and Singapore. We curate and present your evidence—publications, citations, awards, peer-review service, patents, international impact, and leadership—so it maps cleanly to each country’s criteria. From research-focused statements of impact to referee letters, we structure every document for clarity, credibility, and relevance. Our team combines academic insight with precise documentation strategy to position you as a leader in your field and strengthen your case for long-term residency or work pathways. (Information provided is general support content and not legal advice; country criteria evolve—always review official guidance alongside our documentation playbooks.)
