Question 1

What is an OMARA registered migration agent in Perth?

Accepted Answer

OMARA governs who can legally provide migration advice in Australia. Registered agents must meet competency and professional requirements and comply with a Code of Conduct. Always verify your agent's MARA number before engaging their services. Ultimate Migration holds MARN 1790054 and 2418658.

Question 2

How much does a migration agent in Perth cost?

Question 3

What is the difference between the 189, 190 and 491 visas?

Accepted Answer

The 189 (Skilled Independent) requires no sponsorship and grants permanent residency immediately, but requires a competitive points score. The 190 (State Nominated) requires state government nomination and adds 5 points. The 491 (Skilled Regional) is a 5-year provisional visa for regional areas, leading to the 191 permanent visa after meeting eligibility requirements.

Question 4

Do I need a migration agent or can I apply myself?

Accepted Answer

You can apply for most visas yourself, but Australia's immigration system is complex and errors can be costly. A registered migration agent can help reduce refusal risk, particularly for complex cases like employer-sponsored visas, partner visas with limited evidence, or situations involving a previous refusal or visa cancellation.

Question 5

How long does a partner visa take to process?

Accepted Answer

Processing times change regularly. The best source is the Department of Home Affairs visa processing times guide, and we can discuss current estimates during your consultation.

Question 6

Do you offer consultations in Hindi or Punjabi?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have registered migration agents and staff fluent in both Hindi and Punjabi so language is never a barrier to clear migration advice.

Question 7

What is the Skills in Demand visa?

Accepted Answer

The Skills in Demand visa (subclass 482) includes streams such as Core Skills and Specialist Skills. Our team stays current with policy changes so we can guide you on the most suitable strategy for your circumstances.

Question 8

What should I do if my visa application was refused?

Accepted Answer

A visa refusal is not necessarily the end of the road. Depending on the visa type and reason for refusal, you may be able to seek review in the Administrative Review Tribunal, apply for a different visa, or reapply with a stronger application. Contact us immediately after a refusal because review deadlines can be strict.
