Registered migration agent fees depend on:
- the type of visa you are applying for
- the amount of time it will take to prepare your visa application
- the services you need
- whether you need extra help
- whether you have a complex case (for example, if you have other people listed on your application)
- the registered migration agent's experience
Your registered migration agent's fees must be fair and reasonable.
The rules for fees are in the Code of Conduct.
Fee for a first meeting
A registered migration agent may ask to meet with you in person or by telephone or video call before they give you a contract. This meeting is called an initial consultation.
In your initial consultation, the registered migration agent will give you general information and answer your questions. Some registered migration agents do this for free and others charge a fee.
If a registered migration agent charges a fee for an initial consultation, ask them to give you information about the fee in writing.
