U.K Migration Consultations

From time to time we visit the UK to conduct migration consultations.

If you are interested in a consultaion in the UK please contact us.

Based in Australia

Registered Australian Migration Agents are usually based in Australia which is an advantage as most visa applications are now lodged in Australia itself. Also registered agents have direct access to case officers which can be difficult for members of the public. Our migration agent will liaise with you in your home country by registered mail, by telephone and email so there is no disadvantage if you are not in Australia.

Registered and Qualified

An individual migration agent will work on many cases a year and will be experienced in the subtleties and pitfalls of migration legislation. Completing Australian migration applications and assessments is their profession. Your first (and usually only) experience of the nuances of migration law is when you decide to migrate.

Australian Migration Law is a complex and constantly changing field. There are currently:

Over 60 Temporary Visa Subclasses

Over 70 Permanent Visa Subclasses

Over 30 Offshore (of Australia) Permanent Visa Subclasses

Over 30 Onshore Permanent Visa Subclasses

Permanent Visa Categories include Family, Skilled and Business.

The role of a Registered Migration Agent is to provide migration advice. They are also authorised to process and lodge visa application on their clients behalf. All persons offering migration advice, even if it is given feely or a fee is charged, who legally operate within the Australian Migration Zone must:

Be Qualified in Australian Migration Law.

Migration legislation is a complex subject and registered agents must demonstrate usually be written examination that they are qualified in Australian Migration Law.

Bound by a Code of Conduct.

The migration assessment should give you a better idea of whether you can take things further and the visa categories you may be eligible for. Again you can apply for the visa yourself or engage a migration agent.
