Why Use a Migration Agent or Immigration Lawyer?
Cost-Effective
With more than 100 visa subclasses available in Australia, it can be hard to navigate which visa subclass is most appropriate for you. Therefore, it may seem like you are saving money by completing the application yourself. However, if your application is incomplete or incorrect, it can lead to your visa being refused. This can then severely impact future visa applications and complicate the process further, which can be very costly. This means that getting your application right the first time is important, which a professional can help you do.
