✔️ Ensure the occupation is on the eligible skilled occupations list
✔️ Choose the right visa based on your needs

If you’re applying for an Australian visa, make sure you’re getting advice from the right sources.

Unfortunately, scam migration agents are out there, preying on hopeful applicants with false promises and fraudulent practices. These scams often happen through social media and can lead to devastating consequences, such as:

❌ Losing thousands of dollars in fake fees
❌ Submitting fraudulent documents without your knowledge
❌ Having your visa cancelled or being banned from Australia
❌ Being left stranded with no legal options

In Australia, it is illegal for anyone to give immigration advice for money unless they are:

✔️ A registered migration agent with the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA)
✔️ An Australian legal practitioner

If you're applying from outside of Australia, using a registered migration agent or Australian legal practitioner is highly recommended to ensure your visa application is legitimate and in line with immigration laws.

How can you verify if an agent is legitimate? Always ask for their Migration Agents Registration Number (MARN) and check it on the OMARA website. A trustworthy agent will have no issue providing this.

At Australian Visa and Immigration Experts (AVIE), we take this very seriously. We are committed to providing ethical, professional, and accurate migration advice tailored to your situation.
