Launched in November 2019, it targets exceptional individuals in sports, arts, or 10 key scientific fields to contribute to Australia’s economy through innovation and job creation. Australia is recognized as one of the safest and most prosperous countries globally.
The Global Talent Independent (GTI) program identifies elite talent worldwide, with experts based in cities like Shanghai, Singapore, and Washington. It is a fast and low-risk visa for eligible applicants.
