Anyone can prepare and lodge his or her visa application for Australia. The platform used to submit visa applications is intended to be accessible and visible for everyone by the Department of Home Affairs. However, not everyone can successfully file their visa application the right way. There’s more to the process than meets the eyes. Plus, migration laws are complex and are constantly changing which requires someone who has an in-depth understanding of the law as well a valid credential to fully understand other aspects of the law that may impact your immigration process and to successful lodge your visa application. The Department of Home Affairs may implement changes on the platform or the legislation which can jeopardize your application if you have no idea what it is. Here are the fundamental reasons why you should hire a migration agent to prepare and process your visa application.

SECURE AND RELIABLE

Usually, Migration Agents are MARA-registered agents who are qualified and accredited who have the appropriate level of knowledge to provide accurate advice to clients as well as act on their behalf to liaise with the Immigration Department regarding their visa application. There are a lot of bogus agents out there so to be safe; you should only use an Agent that is MARA-registered. You can search online at www.mara.gov.au to ensure that your Migration Agent is entirely above board. Essentially a lawyer who is an RMA provides you with a complete immigration service which is by the law, so you don’t have to worry about them being sketchy. They’re also up to date with the migration law changes which will set you off on the right track from the very beginning.

EXPERTISE AND ASSURANCE

Registered Migration Agents have years of experience in dealing with visa applications. It’s their expertise and field of study. They know their craft inside and out as they have been continuously practicing it for years. They have an in-depth understanding of the process and visa pathways. They know what works and doesn’t work which is crucial in any visa application. Migrating to Australia can be a complex and costly process, so you want to make sure that you get it right the first time. An RMA will make sure to give you a positive visa outcome no matter what it takes.

AFFORDABLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE 

Migrating to Australia no matter what visa pathway you’re using is very costly. The fees itself is more than what an average person makes in a year. Applying yourself runs the risk of having your visa refused which will cost you everything you saved up. Not to mention the time and effort you spent in processing your visa application but also the cost of:

• Increased migration fees to lodge particular submissions and visa appeals for your case
• Migration tribunal review fees
• Legal representation at a migration tribunal and
• The potential cost of lodging another application

You can prevent this if you hire an expert to do the job for you. A small professional fee is worth the trouble and risk of having your visa denied or even potentially having to redo your visa application all over again which will lead you in depth.

There you have it! Those are the three fundamental reasons why you should hire a Migration Agent to process your visa application.
