A Registered Migration Agent

When you choose a Migration Agent, make sure you choose a registered one. In Australia, it is illegal to practice as a migration agent without registering with the Australian Migration Agents' Registration Authority (MARA). A registered migration agent must passed stringent tests on Immigration laws, possesses good personal characters and complies with the code of conduct set by MARA.

While it is optional to use a migration agent, there are certainly benefits from using one, which includes:

• Professional guidance and advice on procedural matters
• Unnecessary delay due to lack of understanding of application requirements; and
• Improve your chance of a successful outcome of your application.
