Visa and migration
[ Using a Migration Agent ]
Choosing a Migration Agent
While you are welcome to use a migration agent to assist with your visa applications, it is not a requirement that you do so. Australia's "Migration Agents Registration Authority" (http://www.mara.com.au/) has introduced a new search facility on their website to assist you to identify an appropriate, registered agent, should you choose to use one. You can search by name, suburb, postcode, Migration Agent Registration Number, business name or country (eg "Hong Kong"). To use the search tool, please use the following link: http://www.mara.com.au/mara_agent_search
