What You Can Enjoy
With TEYA-Capital

1. Free profile scoring and help determining your chances of getting a visa.

2. We’ll take charge of building your case from assessing your documents and professional links.

3. Our team will research your public profile to determine whether there is sufficient media coverage of your professional achievements — after all, this is one of the many criteria for approval:

  • If your public profile is full enough, we can proceed from there
  • If the public profile is not extensive enough, we will create a plan to enhance it

4. The team will create a questionnaire for you based on the information you provide to us to fill in the gaps in your profile and documents.

5. Your profile will be assembled into a single story, which we will submit to the Tech Nation.

6. We write and prepare a voluminous pool of documents for submission:

  • Letters of Recommendation: three letters to be signed by different referees, people who recommend you and confirm your skills and involvement in projects.
  • Acknowledgement Letter: a formal and dry letter about how you participated in conferences or hackathons, spoke at professional events, advised a professional or a company, or contributed to the development of your employer.
  • Appreciation Letter / Thank-You Letter: Similar the previous letter, but with an emphasis on thanking you for taking part in something.
  • Mentor Letter: a personal letter from a person, talking about how you mentored them once.
  • The CFO: the company founder's brief, in which we outline your role in setting up the company, information about the company, its successes and recognition in its field.
  • Clippings: a document outlining your public activity, scope, and professional performance.
  • CV: your current CV, which must match your LinkedIn profile.
  • Personal Statement: a text of up to 1,000 characters with a brief description of the case and you.
  • Cover Letter: if the case is complex, this letter should explain what each document in the case means.

7. All of your official documents will be collected and prepared:

  • Work contracts
  • Investment agreements
  • Certificates of employment
  • Other documents, depending on the specifics of the case

8. We will set up several Zoom calls, fill in the submission form together, upload the completed documents, and you’ll pay the Tech Nation’s submission fee.

9. After this, we’ll wait for a response from the Tech Nation. The average processing time is 6-8 weeks. There is no way to speed up the review period.

  • If the answer is yes, we will send you instructions and guides with help before and after the move
  • If the answer is no, we will prepare an appeal, and this normally takes 2-3 days
