Longest-registered partner visa migration agents

Registration year is derived from each agent's MARN — the first two digits encode the year they first registered with OMARA. Longer registration means more years practising under the regulator's Code of Conduct, though the right specialisation matters more than tenure alone.

Common questions

How much do partner visas cost?
The Department of Home Affairs charges AUD $11,710 for the main applicant (current as at the 1 July 2026 indexation), plus AUD $5,860 per additional adult and $2,935 per child. That single charge covers the whole journey — the temporary 820 or 309 stage carries no separate charge of its own, so you are not billed twice. Agent fees are separate and vary widely — typically $4,000 to $8,000 for a full partner visa file. Charges index every 1 July, so check the Home Affairs fee schedule before you apply. Use Migratio to compare consultation fees from agents (comparing is free; consults are typically $150–$300) who handle your situation.
What evidence do I need?
Financial commitment, social recognition of the relationship, household arrangements, and commitment to a shared life. Migratio's free partner visa evidence checklist (under Tools) covers each category.
What does MARA-registered mean?
MARA (the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority, sitting within Home Affairs as OMARA) is the federal regulator for Australian migration agents. Registration requires a Graduate Diploma in Australian Migration Law and Practice, ongoing CPD, professional indemnity insurance, and adherence to a binding Code of Conduct. Every agent listed on Migratio is checked against the public MARA register when our data is refreshed — always verify current registration on the official OMARA register.
How does Migratio's matching work?
Tell us about your visa situation once. Migratio sends your brief to every registered agent whose practice matches your visa type and state; agents who want the case confirm within minutes with their consultation fee, and you compare and book the one you prefer. Free for applicants — you pay only the consultation fee of the agent you book, and the platform fee comes out of that fee, not on top of it.
What does it cost to use Migratio?
Nothing for applicants. You pay only the consultation fee charged by the agent you book — across Migratio the median quoted consult is about $220 (most fall between $150 and $275) — plus any agent service fees if you later engage them for your full application. Migratio's platform fee is deducted from the agent's consultation fee, not added to it.
