The acceptance of Turkish drag queen Kübra Uzun into the country with the "Global Talent Visa," which is only granted to exceptionally talented artists, has sparked debates in the UK.

Turkish drag queen and LGBTQI+ rights advocate Kübra Uzun has made headlines in the UK. The acceptance of Uzun, known by the stage name "Q-BRA," into the country with the "Global Talent Visa," which is only granted to exceptionally talented artists, has sparked debates on the island.
TURKISH DRAG QUEEN SHAKES UP ENGLAND This special visa, granted to individuals with exceptional talent in fields such as music, theater, and dance, requires prior approval from the Arts Council England. However, some British media outlets have raised allegations of improper use of this visa. The Daily Mail analyzed Uzun's music career with the headline, "Turkish trans drag queen among 'global talents' receiving special visa from England."
Kübra Uzun ANOTHER TURKISH CITIZEN IN THE SPOTLIGHT The Daily Telegraph also mentioned another Turkish trans individual, Akış Ka, who came to England with the same type of visa. It was noted that Ka was invited to the country to work in the fields of 'trans rights,' 'body politics,' and 'food and eating sociology.'
In Ka's social media posts, banners reading "I support trans rights" were seen, as well as banners criticizing Harry Potter author JK Rowling, who has been in the spotlight due to gender ideology debates, during a pride march.
Akış Ka "THERE ARE MANY IRREGULARITIES" The Daily Telegraph also pointed out in its report that the 'Global Talent Visa' has been abused by some individuals. The report claimed that those entering England through this route have created numerous serious irregularities in the visa system by 'guiding' others to obtain visas. It was even shared that some entrepreneurs have established companies to assist artists in obtaining this special visa.
These developments in England have reignited discussions about the need to review the 'Global Talent Visa' system.
