    For peace of mind, contact the MARA agent they are associated with. Kasi if they are not MARA registered, they are not legally allowed to offer migration services to Australia. They can give you advice yes, pero yun na ginagawa ng mga tao dito sa forum. And best of all, it's free.

    Pero yun nga po, advice ko po sa inyo is ask them for their MARA registered number. And then yun agent, ask him if affiliated sya sa agency na yan sa Cebu.

    I agree with those who say that the services of a migration agent are not required. I applied by my own capacity (sariling sikap) and it wasn't that difficult. The only tedious part is getting all the documents. Once you have that, you're good to go...plus the money, of course! HAHAHAHA!

    I agree with you.

    di naman kailangan talaga ng MARA (sabi sa video sa itaas - di rin ito guarantee to approved visa kahit may MARA) basta tyaga lang na intindihin ang mga guidlines sa immi.gov.au. tulad ko ako ang nag lodge ng visa ko.

    Pero kung wala talagang time at sometimes may mga information dun na ang hirap intindihin o ipaliwanag, kung kailangan din ng guide at may budget naman to pay fees in MARA mas makakabuti din kumuha pa rin ng MARA. Basta siguraduhin certified MARA.

    Puede din naman magtanung sa MARA ng mga basic na tanung libre lang nman yun. pero kung kukunin mo na service nila dun mo na kailangan magbayad.

    cheers

    Reply to @glaiza1210: Yup ok naman sa Respall. Yun din ang agent ng officemate ko dati.Medyo mahal lang po talaga yung agent fees ni Respall. Almost the cost of the visa fee.

    Hi there. Ask ko lang dun sa mga nag-engage ng agents, usually Australian Dollars ang fee nila di ba? Anong basis or website ng exchange rate ginagamit nila pag babayaran nyo sila ng Australia dollars, local bank ba? Exchange rate ba on date of payment?

    Thanks.

    Tama si @k_mavs, usually meron naman sila mga offices sa Philippines or sa ibang countries. If wala most probably bank transfer or manager's cheque yan.
