Prospective Immigrants Need An Australian Migration Agent

By Ronald Burns


Like most countries, the Land Down Under has strict immigration rules and procedures, and anyone seeking to move will need an Australian migration agent. There are miles of red tape which must be traversed before a newcomer can call themselves a resident of this, or any country. No one wants to get half-way there and suddenly discover they might not even be eligible, or that they have filled out the wrong documents.

In many circumstances, an applicant may have only one shot at getting their paperwork submitted exactly correct. Agents are like a new best friend who can help them swim these murky waters, and prevent any mistakes or miscommunication along the way. What sort of Visa is needed is extremely personal to the applicant and his/her circumstances.

It is the job of the agents to establish a relationship with applicants as they help them on their journey. The applicant is their client, and they must keep in touch, remaining constantly available to answer questions and provide status updates. These agents help to ensure that applications do not get lost in the system for long periods of time, creating calamity for the applicant.

Most agents possess a law degree and work out of a law office. However, there are self-employed individuals in the field, many of whom have a career-specific education, and they are just as qualified. In many cases, these self-employed men and women may charge more reasonable fees for their services, and often have a more humble and laid-back way of approaching their job.

There is an organization which helps applicants connect with agents called the MIA. This is an excellent resource whether one is shopping for agents, or if they have someone in mind that they might like to hire. The MIA can let the applicant know for certain whether or not their prospective new friend is registered, as required by law.

One of the primary reasons for such a relocation is the pursuit of or an open offer of employment within the country. Without a representative to assist you in the process, an applicant may be vulnerable to unsavory individuals who make false promises of jobs. Beware of any potential employer who steers you away from the services of authorized agents and tries to convince the applicant to do it themselves, or enter the country in another way.

Many agents provide assistance to individuals already here so that they can remain so even when facing the expiration of their Visa. They will have a working knowledge of all the different types of Visas that can be applied for, and can help identify the best approach for the applicant. They sometimes even assist refugees who need to obtain protection Visas before entering the country.

There are also a barrage of documentary requirements for housing when moving to another country, and the Australian Agents are on the job helping applicants with all such documents. Applicants are urged to find agents in the general area they think they may wish to live. Agents with a working knowledge of the community are better able to set up housing that will be comfortable for the applicant.
