Questions we get asked first
What does a migration agent cost?
A 30-minute consultation is $330 inc. GST, and a written pathway check, one applicant with every realistic pathway in writing within five business days and no call, is $550 inc. GST. Both are credited in full toward your fee if you engage us. For engaged work we quote a fixed professional fee in writing before any work starts — published rates appear on each service page — and government application charges are separate and paid to the Department.
How long will my visa take?
Processing time depends on the subclass, the completeness of the application and Department workloads — see our visa processing times page for current figures by subclass. What we control is lodging a decision-ready file the first time, which is the single biggest factor you can influence.
Do I actually need a migration agent?
Not always — and if your case is straightforward we will say so in the consultation. An agent earns their fee where the pathway choice is not obvious, where evidence needs to be built rather than collected, or where a refusal, cancellation or review deadline is in play. Only a registered agent (MARA) can lawfully give Australian immigration assistance.
Can I ask a question for free?
No. Free questions are closed. Advice on your own case is the 30-minute consultation with Keshab Chapagain (MARN 1576536), A$330 inc. GST, credited in full if you go ahead, or the written pathway check, A$550, with no call.
What does the consultation include?
Thirty minutes with Keshab Chapagain (MARN 1576536) personally: your documents read, a straight answer on which pathway is realistic and in what order, and a written summary afterwards. It is $330 inc. GST, credited in full toward your fee if you engage us. It is a formal initial consultation under the Code of Conduct; further work follows a written service agreement.
