How to Prove Evidence? Global Talent Visa (Academia & Research)
Hi everyone,
I need advice on strengthening my Global Talent Visa (Academia & Research) exceptional promise, peer review route.
I applied last year and was refused in October 2025. The endorsing body noted that while my academic output and experience were strong, I lacked sufficient evidence.
I skipped the appeal because I got a Skilled Worker Visa instead, but I’ve just been made redundant and my garden leave is ending soon. I need to reapply, but this time I must fix the evidence gap.
Question
I would love your advice on how to actually provide this evidence?
For this specific visa route, the only documents you are allowed to submit are the Letters of Recommendation, CV, and a Personal Statement.
How do I add the evidence in? Should I embed hyperlinks to my published papers, Google Scholar, and project portfolios directly inside my CV and personal statement?

TL;DR: Reapplying for the Global Talent Visa (Academia/Research) after a previous rejection for "lack of evidence." How do I provide evidence within the allowed documentsCV, Personal Statement, and Recommendation Letter?
Thank you in advance
