The Verdict: Unlikely
This visa is a long shot for you, because it needs a record recognised internationally, not just at home. Look at points-tested skilled migration or employer sponsorship instead.
The test is an internationally recognised record of exceptional and outstanding achievement, and that you are still prominent in your field. Seniority and a strong national profile do not meet it on their own.
Check before setting it aside. Citations from other countries, awards with an international field, invitations to speak or judge abroad, or work adopted outside your country can add up to more than it feels from inside.
The visa has no age limit, so it stays open if your record grows. Skilled migration and employer sponsorship reward strong professional standing without requiring international eminence.
