Hi All,

appreciate alot for the help . ^^

Hi everyone.

Just wondering normally how much AUD DOLLAR does agency charge on migration application or assisting people to apply for Permanent Resident (PR) to Australia?

What I heard their professional fees is about AUD3800 (Not including Australia immigration application fees) for head to toe services.

May I know is this price reasonable or over price? Need advice from anyone who applied before via migration agency.

Thank you

it should be around that figure..my friend got it for RM14k..

I'll do it for half that price.

Try answering these questions from the website below to assess your eligibility for any of the visas available.

Alternatively, consult a migration agent (costs more $) to do an assessment before proceding with the application.

Try to look alternative. Each agent charge differently. I was overcharge as 1 of my friend paid lesser than mine. Of course i still got my PR but just that you have fork out more cash for it.

It's a chicken and egg thing. If you're lucky with Ozzie company willing to sponsor you, which your profession is highly demanded there and desperately need you. Realistically, it seldom happen but not possible.
Normally Ozzie company will put PR holders priority for job. Why should they pay so much money to get you in where there's bunch of same graduates who is PR/citizens.
My advise is get your PR 1st and talk later on the job.

i read from somewhere, you can diy. no need pay single cents to agency.

what you need is time, effort, and know what to do.

try the job and career subforum, there's a thread about working in australia, they may give you more insight/details.

or if u got AUD5 million to buy Aussie gov bond, str8 give u PR

why is it so hard to DIY??

Just read what you need ... if you've no (language) understanding problem, then it'll be ok ...

Check the IELTS test requirement first.

See if it kills your interest.



I have a few friends who took the test like at least 10 times to get an 8 for EVERY single category of the IELTS test.

Though the score requirement is dependent on your profession.

Very much indeed. Doctors,lawyers or high profession jobs requires acedemic test of band 7 or 8.
Your friend who taking the test for 10 times, i really salute them! Not everyone could have this patient!haha

diy cost very little; if u r qualified. easy.

or is it rm14k for lubang one?

They give you rm14k or you give them?

I have a degree in Marketing, never took IELTS before, any chance I can get into Australia ?

Unfortunately your Marketing qualification is not a 'in need' category currently in AUS. Chances are you will require to take IELTS, however passing requirements might differ like what Vaedoris mentioned. For me I was only required to score an overall of 7 points, under the 'General Training' version. There are two different versions in IELTS, 'Acadamic' & 'General Training', people who are applying for academic reasons (e.g. further studies) will require to take the 'Academic' one, which is more difficult. The rest will only require to take 'General Training', which is an easier test.

If i remember correctly, you will have to pay an application cost of about 2.5k AUD to AU Immi dept for PR (correct me if im wrong guys), and that will be charged regardless if your application is successful or not.

So for DIY people, depending on the type of application, make sure you do your homework thoroughly and prepare every single bit of documents, double check, make sure photocopies are signed by witnessed by authorised justice of peace/notary public, proof documents translated by Australian authorised agencies (if needed), and follow the guidelines/check boxes stated in the application papers closely. This means lots of travelling around to get things done, but if you think the end result is worth it, it won't be a problem.

Good Luck

Your question is too general. Do you have work experience? Have you studied in Australia for at least 2 years? Do you have close relatives in Australia?
Every individual case is different so being vague is not going to provide you with an accurate answer.

If you are not keen to do all the research, you can always try the assessment quiz available at the migration agent website to see if you qualified. Then, you will know if you have the qualified to apply for PR.
