Concept Australia Offers Key Advice for Prospective Migrants Confused by Australian Visa Process

Concept Australia demystifies the Australian visa process with honest and comprehensive advice approved by the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA).

October 7, 2019 / / —

Each year thousands of people arrive in Australia to start a new lifestyle they could only have dreamed of back home. But, moving to Australia is still probably one of the biggest decisions that these people will ever have to make. It is essential, therefore, that all prospective migrants examine their options carefully so that they have realistic expectations of their new life in Australia and can reap the long-term benefits of successful settlement.

The Australian Government Department of Home Affairs (DHA) is continuously refining its migration programme, which is governed by complicated and strict visa regulations that are set in law. Many applicants are tripped up during the application process due to a lack of understanding, information overload, information that is out of date and questions left unanswered. This may result in an applicant’s visa being refused due to unforeseen circumstances that could have been avoided.

Anyone considering moving to Australia should first discuss their visa options with a professional OMARA registered migration agent. OMARA is an office of the DHA that monitors the conduct of registered agents to ensure that only the highest level of advice and assistance is provided to prospective applicants. To achieve this, OMARA agents must subscribe to the same regulations used by DHA case officers and undertake professional development on an annual basis.

Concept Australia offers no-obligation consultations to discuss visa options with anyone who has a realistic potential to be granted a visa. The appointment is designed to give people a chance to make an informed judgement regarding future migration plans. Consultations are conducted in Concept Australia’s offices located in the London Borough of Bromley and in Manchester. For people who are unable to travel to see us, Concept Australia also offers SKYPE or telephone appointments at convenient times, including selected midweek evenings and Saturday mornings.

During a consultation, Concept Australia will provide a comprehensive overview of the visa process and advice on the visa pathways available to each particular applicant and their circumstances. They will also outline the advantages and disadvantages of each visa option and any barriers applicants may have to face. Consultants are also able to give an indication of the processing timetable and a summary of the total cost for the visa class selected plus the opportunity to ask key questions where online information is lacking.
