Longest-registered skilled 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

Do I need an agent for a points-tested skilled visa?
You don't need an agent to lodge a SkillSelect EOI or skilled visa application, but applicants with non-trivial points calculations, partner contributions, occupation list ambiguity, or prior refusals routinely benefit from a registered agent. The cost of one strategic consultation is small compared to the cost of a refused application.
How long does a 189 / 190 / 491 take?
Department of Home Affairs publishes category median processing times monthly. April 2026 medians: subclass 189 around 10 months, 190 around 6 months, 491 around 12 months. Confirm current figures with the Home Affairs subclass and date checker before relying on a timeframe.
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 routes a structured brief to up to three MARA-registered agents who specialise in your visa type and state. They review your case and respond with their consultation fee. You compare responses and choose. Free for applicants — agents pay a platform fee only after you select them.
What does it cost to use Migratio?
Nothing for applicants. You pay only the consultation fee charged by the agent you choose, plus any agent service fees if you engage them for your full application. Migratio's platform fee is paid by the agent, not by you.
