Migration Agent/Agency and Fees

graceLgraceL QatarPosts: 1Member
Hi guys! Magtatanong sana ako kung roughly magkano yung total processing/agency fee for migration sa Australia. Under ng skilled-independent. Tsaka anong agency ang legit sa pinas... Parang mostly kasi ng nakikita ko "study" yung inoffer... Hindi migration.

Thank you!

    Agent's fees may vary depending on your case, cguro mga 90K for the whole process for 189 or 190 VISAs (immigration visa). You may also refer to this site for authorized agents in the Phil https://www.mara.gov.au/search-the-register-of-migration-agents/

    That's right, it varies. I'm based here in the UK so most of my clients are Brits. I charge them from £1,700 which is mababa na compared sa ibang agents here. Pero pag dating sa Filipinos, I do have a soft spot. My fees start from £1,200 lang. I just can't find it in my heart to charge Filipinos too much! Also in general, mainly because I've done my journey to Australia over 10 years ago, I know how it's like that's why I firmly believe agent fees should be fair and reasonable, it does not need to be expensive and leave you out of pocket. In a way, this is my form of giving back na rin for the opportunities I've enjoyed since becoming an Australian citizen.

    Police and medical clearances are usually the last documents to be provided. Since these are only valid for 12 months, it is best to provide them after the case officer requests for them.
