Do you know all the requirements needed to get an Australian visa?

Whether it be a permanent or temporary work visa, family-sponsored visa, or a partner visa, few people do. It is a very complex and slow process. Using a Registered Migration Agent (MARA) will help you avoid the following issues which can cause immense stress, length delays and ultimately impede a successful application:

1. Know the Right Visa For You

There are more than 140 different Australian visa options. Knowing which visa best suits your situation and qualifications to ensure visa success may sound easy, but it is not. An expert migration agent can look at the whole picture, and make sense of a complex government system as it applies to you. Too often individuals without a registered migration agent have the requirements to qualify for a visa but are unsuccessful with their application. Don’t drown in the regulatory detail and focus on the visa that’s not right for you. Get expert advice from a registered migration agent to achieve the best possible result.

2. Visa Requirement Changes

Migration regulations highly bureaucratic and subject to political change. Governments can change visa requirements and the approval process at any time. In Australia this occurred recently with the Turnbull Government cancelling the popular 457 work visa, which has created an uncertain future for tens of thousands of migrant workers on temporary work visas. If you don’t know exactly what the latest regulations are, it may mean the visa application you’ve done may not be correct. That’s why you need a registered migration agent working for you.

3. Cost

Australia and New Zealand’s visa applications are costly. While many try to save money by going it alone, if an application is unsuccessful the hefty government visa fee is non-refundable. Also, the government visa fee is just one of the costs in the process. It is crucial to know the total price you will have to pay for a visa before you began an application so you know if you can afford it. Costs vary depending on the individual applicant and visa type, such as work visa, permanent residency visa, partner visa or family-sponsored visa. An expert migration agent can quickly assess your situation and give you a full estimate of all costs in your visa application.

4. Comprehensive Accurate Application

Comprehensive and accurate evidence to support your application is vital to visa success.  Different visas require different types of documentation on a whole range of matters. This requires assembling a collection of many certificates and forms relating to your personal and employment situations. Expert migration agent advice ensures that you collect and provide all requisite information. If all such information is not received, received late or is inaccurate, Immigration may refuse your visa. Think of using a registered migration agent as an investment to get you the best possible result.
