Eligibility Determination:

• Assessments help to determine whether an individual is eligible for a specific visa category, citizenship application or review rights to appeal an immigration matter such as a refusal or visa cancellation.

Legal Compliance:

• Immigration laws and regulations are complex and can change frequently. An assessment ensures that the applicant is aware of and complies with the current immigration laws and policies. This helps to avoid legal issues and increases the chances of a successful application.

Documenatation Guidance:

• Immigration assessments often provide guidance on the required documentation for the application process. This is crucial because incomplete or inaccurate documentation can lead to delays or refusals. Properly prepared documentation is essential to support the applicant’s case.

Risk Mitigation:

• Assessments help individuals understand the potential challenges or obstacles they may face during the immigration process. This includes factors such as criminal history, health issues, or other eligibility concerns. Identifying potential issues in advance allows applicants to address them proactively.

Time & Cost Savings:

• Going through an immigration assessment can save time and money in the long run. It helps applicants avoid pursuing the wrong immigration option or submitting incomplete applications, which could result in refusals, appeals, or the need to leave Australia and/or reapply.

Understanding Options:

• Immigration assessments provide individuals with a clear understanding of the various immigration options available to them. This allows applicants to make informed decisions about the most suitable pathway based on their goals, qualifications, and circumstances.

Professional Advice:

• Many individuals seek the assistance of registered migration agents or immigration lawyers for assessments. Professionals can provide valuable advice based on our knowledge and experience, ensuring that applicants have accurate information and are well-prepared for the immigration process.

In summary, immigration assessments play a crucial role in guiding individuals through the complex process of immigrating to a new country. They help applicants understand their eligibility, comply with legal requirements, gather the necessary documentation, and make informed decisions about the best immigration pathway for their specific situation.

Immigration law is full of complexities. One wrong move can be catastrophic. Registered Migration Agents (RMA) and Licensed Immigration Advisers (LIA) are specially trained in immigration legislation and practice and experienced consultants have an indepth understanding of strategies and processes that will help to avoid potential issues.

Immigration processes take a considerable amount of time to prepare and by engaging experienced and reputable RMAs ensures that your application is ‘decision ready’ and prepared to the highest standards, quickly and efficiently.

Engaging a professional also helps to alleviate stress, gives the Department of Home Affairs a reliable point of contact which ensures no correspondance is accidentally missed or overlooked, and a professional has the skills and experience to assess, interpret and respond to requests made by the Department.

There are numerous types of permanent and temporary visas available in Australia and New Zealand. It is essential to assess each individual case against the current eligibility criteria to determine the most suitable visa pathway(s).

Note: As of 1 July 2023, most NZ citizens will not require a permanent visa to apply directly for Australian citizenship, provided they meet the eligibility criteria. However, we still recommend seeking professional advice, as there can be complexities involved.

Costs for visa applications are set by the Department of Home Affairs and are subject to change at anytime. Typically costs increase in alignment with Consumer Price Index (CPI) on the 1st July each year, however, significant increases that are much higher than CPI can also occur at anytime without forewarning.
