Who qualifies?
Those qualifying as top talent include highly-qualified scientists, international entrepreneurs and others with specific, high-level, in-demand skills – similar to the qualifying criteria for “Category A” work permits.
The same visa privileges will be granted to the qualifying applicant’s spouse and children.
