  1. Application form

    Application form

  2. Online testing

    Game-based assessment

    Game-based online assessment looking at how candidates make decisions, rather than traditional maths and English tests. Provider not named.

    “This isn't your usual Maths and English test! We want to get to know you, so our assessment is a series of online games that show us how you make decisions...”

  3. Phone interview

    Phone interview

    Telephone interview on what makes the candidate individual and their motivation for Visa.

    “If we think you could be a good fit for Visa, then you'll have a telephone interview so we can find out what makes you individual, and why we're the team for you.”

  4. Technical challenge

    Online tests

    Technology role applicants complete a technical challenge to gauge their level of knowledge. Platform not named.

    “If you have applied for a technology role at Visa then we'll ask you to complete a technical challenge, which will give us a better idea of your level of knowledge.”

  5. Final stage

  • Internship Programme

    Visa's 3-month UK internship is covered by the same promise to try to support sponsorship, but 2027 roles were not yet posted on 1 October 2026.

    “If you meet local requirements and we feel you’re a good fit for Visa, then we will try and support your sponsorship to work in the country the role is based in subject to local immigration law.”

  • Spring Insight Day
