Visa Eligibility Assessment
The Visa Eligibility Assessment is a free questionnaire which is completed on our Website. It has been specifically designed to provide you with a preliminary assessment of your ability to satisfy the Visa criteria for your selected visa/permit type. You should not rely on this result alone as a true indication of your ability to apply for migration.
If you wish to obtain a realistic assessment of your eligibility for migration, you should complete both the Visa Eligibility Assessment and Full Migration Eligibility Assessment.
Once you have completed these steps, you can elect to engage one of our Migration Consultants to act on your behalf or purchase a tailored service pack prepared by one of our Migration Consultants to allow you to self-manage the application process.
Full Migration Assessment
The Full Migration Eligibility Assessment is designed to gather additional information about you to assist us in providing you with a personalised Service.
