your migration journey.

While you can lodge some visa applications yourself, a MARA-registered agent (like us, MARN 1069570) provides regulated, professional advice and is bound by a strict code of conduct. Complex visa types like skilled migration, partner visas and ART reviews strongly benefit from professional help to avoid refusals.

Processing times vary. Subclass 189 currently ranges from 6–18 months depending on your occupation and points score. State-nominated 190 visas often process faster. Regional 491 visas can take 4–12 months. We provide current estimates based on your specific situation.

The minimum varies by visa type. For 189, current cut-offs are typically 85–95+ points. For state-nominated 190, it depends on the state — some states nominate at lower scores. We can calculate your exact score and advise on the best pathway.

Yes. You can apply as a de facto partner if you have been in a genuine relationship for at least 12 months (with some exceptions for registered relationships). Evidence of the relationship is critical — we help you build a strong evidence package.

Onshore partner visa (820/801) is for applicants already in Australia. Offshore (309/100) is for applicants outside Australia. Each has different grant conditions and timeframes. The key factor is where you are when the application is lodged.

Partner visas are currently among the slowest — offshore 309 visas can take 18–28 months for temporary grant, then another 12–24 months for permanent. Onshore 820 is similar. We keep you updated throughout the process and help manage the wait.

GTE stands for Genuine Temporary Entrant. You must demonstrate you genuinely intend to study in Australia and return home afterwards. Your GTE statement needs to address your personal circumstances, ties to your home country, and migration history. We help craft strong GTE statements.

Yes. The ENS 186 visa allows employers to sponsor skilled workers for permanent residence. The Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) stream is the most common path for 482 holders after 3 years. There are also direct entry streams for certain occupations.

You have options. You may be able to apply for a review at the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) within a set time limit (usually 28 days). We prepare strong submissions for ART reviews. You may also be able to make a new application with stronger supporting evidence.

Our fees vary by visa type, case complexity and services required. We provide a clear written quote before you commit. We believe in transparent pricing — no surprise costs. Contact us for a personalised quote.

Yes, most visas allow secondary applicants — typically your spouse/partner and dependent children. Each secondary applicant must meet relevant health and character requirements. We advise on the optimal family strategy for your application.

A bridging visa maintains your legal status in Australia while a substantive visa application is being processed or if your current visa expires. Most bridging visas are granted automatically. We advise on bridging visa conditions to make sure you don't breach your status.
