Costs involved when applying for an Australian visa in Melbourne

The fees set by the government differ for each type of visa and can be viewed on the Department of Home Affairs website.

History of migration in Melbourne

Melbourne's rich tapestry of migration began in the 19th century with the arrival of European settlers during the Victorian gold rush. Post-World War II saw waves of migrants from Italy, Greece, and Eastern Europe, while the latter 20th century welcomed individuals from Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

In more recent times, Melbourne's demographic landscape has further diversified with the influx of skilled overseas workers sponsored by their employer, international students seeking education, and refugees. Following their initial visa application, many of these migrants are now Australian permanent residents or Australian citizens. Migration has enriched the city with cultural traditions, languages, and culinary experiences.

How much does a migration agent in Melbourne charge?

Is it worth using a migration agent in Australia?

Using a migration agent can significantly impact the success and ease of your Australian visa application. While the main drawback of engaging migration agents is the associated cost, the benefits often outweigh this concern.

Dealing with the Department of Home Affairs in Australia can be stressful and support can be limited. Mistakes, even minor ones, in your application can lead to rejection, loss of non-refundable government fees, and potentially complicate future visa applications in Australia.

Migration laws and visa options in Australia are complex and constantly changing. A registered migration agent stays updated on all legislative changes, providing you with the most current advice.

The service provided by our senior migration agents ensures that you submit all documents by the requisite date. They can explore all available visa options for you, reducing the stress and time involved in the application process. Moreover, our skilled agent can guide you through providing the necessary documents and evidence to support your application, improving your chances of a successful outcome.

How do I choose a migration agent in Australia?

Choosing the right migration agent is crucial. It's not just about using any agent; it's about finding one that is experienced, reliable, and suits your specific needs. The consequences of selecting the wrong migration agents include lost money due to errors, potential scams, and receiving misleading or incorrect advice that could derail your migration plans. Therefore, it's essential to do thorough research, understand the fees involved, and ensure the agent is registered with the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) for your peace of mind and security.
