Risks & important considerations
Endorsement criteria
A strong professional record does not automatically meet the Global Talent criteria. Evidence must address the requirements of the relevant field or endorsement pathway.
Qualifying prizes
Only specified prizes can replace endorsement where the rules permit. Other awards may support evidence but do not automatically qualify.
Evidence of achievements
Claims about leadership, innovation or recognition need credible supporting documents. Choose evidence that fits the applicable criteria.
