Our Visa Ambassadors
Tech Nation Visa Ambassadors are a select group of Alumni who act as a ‘link’ between Tech Nation, the Alumni Network and the wider tech community. As key representatives of the visa, they provide insight from their experience as former applicants and the process of applying for the Global Talent visa.
The Ambassadors may help explain the purpose of the visa route and provide a general overview of the application process, however they are unable to support individuals with applications or advise regarding the likelihood of endorsement.
