Well, in this section we shall discuss the costs of having a migration agent by your side. Let us now start reviewing them in a little detail.

Migration Agent Fees

The migration agent’s fees can range from anywhere between 100$ AUD to a few 100$ AUD.

Since this is an initial meeting with the agent, maybe on a call, person, or by email, on a courtesy basis, it is for around 30 minutes. The migration agents who even charge for the initial meeting must tell you about the costs even before the meeting and will credit the amount back into your account once you choose them to help you. In case you don’t, you get paid for what has been decided & what you agreed upon.

Depending on your case’s complexity and the amount for the visa, the migration agent needs only a single consultation to find out certain things:

  1. Which visa type will best suit your migration request?
  2. How long will the whole procedure take?
  3. What is the estimated cost for travelling to Australia(Immigration+Migration Agent’s Fee)?

For a successful visa application, it’s advised to go well-prepared beforehand to the migration agent. Don’t ever try to hide any information from the migration agent. The only way that a migration agent can put forward his/her fee estimates is only when you(the applicant) put forth every bit of information that’s required and mandatory.

Other Factors that Affect the Australian Migration Agent’s Fee

You might have heard of OMARA(Office of Migration Agents Registration Authority). According to them, many factors can affect the fees charged by the migration agents. Have a look:

  1. The visa type- You might be aware of the fact that temporary visas like a visitor visa, bridging, tourist, and holiday visas are relatively easier to process and thus takes less time to prepare. Whereas, permanent visas such as skilled and partner visas take much time to prepare. Thus, the migration agent’s fee depends on that as well.
  2. Hourly rate Vs. bill by service- These are two different types of ways that your migration agent can charge you for the services provided. In an hourly format, you will be charged for providing a more detailed itemized statement of the services. On the other hand, in a bill by service, you will be charged in a ‘package format’ for the complete services.
  3. Visa complexities– Do you have any complexities or any dependents in your visa application? If yes, then better be prepared for the overwhelming costs that you will have to bear. Yes, you heard that right.
  4. Company’s size- This point doesn’t have any direct relation with your application or with whom you will be consulting your case. But if you are consulting your case with an agency that has various branches then the fee would be high. This is the result of maintenance costs for running such a giant business. Although the company’s size might leave you tiring, you can still be on a winning edge since they have heaps of experience in dealing & managing visa applications.
  5. Educational Qualifications- Most often, many of the migration agents come out to be immigration lawyers. If your case requires legal expertise, then you might seek the same person. And, since they are much more educated, they might ask you for more money in return. However, if you need legal expertise in your visa application, you can then hire the person having both expertise.

Wrapping Up

It won’t be wrong to say that many variables come into play while estimating the fees of a migration agent. Since each case is entirely different, it’s best if you have a word with the migration agents face-to-face. However, if you are searching for an affordable migration agent, then you must consider Ausyes Migration as your forever supporting partner in this very aspect.
