Life After the UK Global Talent Visa: Building a New Life in the UK
What does life really look like after moving to the UK on a Global Talent Visa?
In webinar Life After UK Global Talent Visa, Dmitry Liberman — COO at PORT and former leader at Bolt, Uber Eats, and Delivery Hero — shared his experience of relocating to London, building a career, and settling in with his family.
The conversation explored the practical side of relocation: the decisions, challenges, and lessons that come after the move.
Here are some of the key takeaways:
- Start your flat search before you arrive. London's rental market is highly competitive. Research neighbourhoods in advance, contact letting agents early, and prepare documents such as your employment confirmation and bank statements before you begin viewing properties.
- Getting settled takes planning. Dmitry explained how spending time exploring different areas of London helped him choose the right place to live and adapt more quickly to life in the city.
- Families should prepare ahead. Nursery places are limited, so it's worth joining waiting lists well before your child is due to start. The session also covered Dmitry's experience with the NHS and raising a young family in the UK.
- Understanding the system makes a difference. From taxes and banking to renting and everyday administration, knowing how the UK works can save time, reduce stress, and help you make better decisions from day one.
Whether you're actively planning your move or simply exploring your options, these insights offer a realistic picture of what comes after receiving the Global Talent Visa.
