Why do I need a migration lawyer or a registered migration agent?

• A migration lawyer or a registered migration agent have the knowledge of Australia’s migration law framework, policies and procedures.

• A migration lawyer or a registered migration agent will provide an honest advice of your migration matter.

• It is important to get your visa application right at the first time as incorrect visa applications may result to a refusal or possible and stressful delays.

Can I save money if I do my own visa application?

You always have the option to submit your own visa application. However, your payment to the Department of Home Affairs is non-refundable if your application is unsuccessful. Additionally, the Department of Home Affairs has strict regulations to limit your attempts to apply for a visa if you are inside of Australia. The Department of Home Affairs also has specified timeframes in processing applications and some visa may take up to two years to get a decision. Thus, you might waste your money and time if your visa application is unsuccessful.

What are the differences between a migration lawyer, a registered migration agent and an education agent?

• A registered migration agent can provide immigration assistance and is regulated by the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority.

• An education agent cannot lawfully provide immigration assistance in Australia unless the education agent is a registered migration agent or a legal practitioner.
