The fees are to be paid upfront in two instalments:
- 1st instalment (50% of the fee) is to be paid before I can commence the service. It covers the initiation of my work and opening your file.
- 2nd instalment (50% of the fee) is to be paid before I can lodge your visa. It covers the preparation, management and lodgement of your visa application.
My prices are based on the estimated time required and the value provided.
If you appoint me as your migration agent, there will be two types of fees and charges you’ll need to cover: my professional fees and other charges set up by the Department of Home Affairs, police, medical providers, translators, or skills assessing authorities. Here, I list only the fees I charge for my services. The other charges will depend on the visa you apply for and the documents you require.
I stress as well, if your case is a complex one and there are more than one visa applicant, there might be additional costs involved and different payment structures. To find out more, see A complex case.
Additional costs in a migration case
To give you an idea of some of the things you might need and which are not included in my professional fees:
- Visa Application Charge (the monies you pay to the Department of Home Affairs for your visa)
- Police certificates (Australian and/or overseas)
- Medical examinations (Bupa Medical Visa Services or approved panel physician in your home country)
- Translations (I can recommend a NAATI translator to you)
- Birth certificates (from your home country)
- Photographs (usually done at the Australian Post or in your home country)
- English level tests, e.g. IELTS, PTE etc. (I can recommend a test preparation course if you need it)
- Health insurance (I can organise that for you)
- Training Plan (you can outsource it to the experts in this area)
Australian Migration Law changes frequently. This includes the charges set by the Department and other bodies. I’ll give you a written notice of any material change to the estimated costs as soon as I become aware of it.
