The Global Talent Visa program (also known as the Global Talent Independent or GTI program) was created in 2020 to attract the brightest and best global talent to Australia. It is gaining popularity fast, with several thousand visas granted in the period before and after the New Year. 15,000 places will be available in the 2020-2021 financial year, a significant increase from just 5,000 spots in the previous year.
