Our Service

Subject to the different requirements of our clients on the assistance in the Australian migration process we offer different levels of personalised migration services. The service we provide to our clients may vary from time to time. You agree to give the migration agent clear instructions as to what you want the migration agent to do for you, and to clearly advise us if you have any special requests in the carrying out of those instructions. Note that we will not accept your instructions if what you want us to do is illegal or unethical.

Additional services

We are specialised in providing Australian migration advice. We can offer you any additional support regarding taxation, business, education or investment advice but this is not our main business. Any information provided by VISADO on non-migration related matters is general information.

Free Eligibility Test

The Free Eligibility Test has been designed to provide you with a preliminary assessment of your ability to satisfy the Australian visa criteria for the Independent Skilled Visa. You should not rely on this result alone as a true indication of your ability to apply for migration to Australia. If you wish a realistic assessment of your eligibility for migration to Australia, you should talk to one of our Registered Migration Agents.
