Information for New Clients

To apply for any Australian visa is to engage in a legal process under the Migration Act 1958. This requires you to meet legal criteria, compile evidence, and pay fees to different organisations for different services along the way.

Getting the right advice from qualified people at the right time is an important element in making a successful visa application.

After you have received your visa strategy and quote, the next step is to sign the VisAustralia Professional Agreement and pay the first part of the agreed fee to VisAustralia. On entering a written Agreement with VisAustralia we will start preparing your application.
