Has anyone bothered/attempted to bullet out what’s needed for this visa for the leader route for non tech profiles?
I know this may sound silly but I’m having a hard time keeping track of what I need to gather aim for. I pulled together this from the website but many of these points also sound like the optional criteria evidence (specifically point 4) If anyone has bullet pointed this out please let me know or maybe we can all do so here and have a final bullet point criteria checklist I can edit this msg to represent and keep here as a resource for everyone.
