To apply for the Australian PR, How much does it cost?
What is the Process?
Today, I will generally talk about this
My name is Nasir Nawaz, and I’m a registered migration agent in Australia.
Our agency’s name is The Migration.
We are Australia-based, and we also have offices in Pakistan.
Apart from that, we also deal with cases internationally.
If we talk about the cost
there are subclass 189, subclass 190, and subclass 491.
So, I will talk about the general process.
It has three steps
For example, the 1st step is Skill Assessment.
2nd step is Nomination
and the 3rd step is Visa application.
First of all, ensure that
your skill assessment is up to the mark or according to the Australian standards
Who will do this?
This will be done by the Skill Assessing Bodies.
For example, ACS is present for IT.
Engineers Australia is present for Engineers,
and for accountancy, there are CPA, IPA, and others.
Apart from these, there is VET assess,
there are many TESOLS and ANMAC.
So all of them specialize in their own way.
If you have to assess for IT,
you will go to your skill assessing body.
First, your skill assessment is assessed by the authorized body,
then you can move to the next step.
Now what happens is, what is the cost?
Any Skill Assessment’s cost can range
from AUD 300/ AUD 400 to AUD 4000,
depending upon the situation and the occupation.
For Example, for trades,
it is very expensive because trade has two steps
Engineers Australia is less costly,
VET assess is less costly, not much
but less as compared to trade.
Likewise, there is IT, which is less expensive.
So, your cost can go from 300-400 AUD to 4000AUD,
for the skill assessing body.
How much time does it take?
Some assessing bodies allow you a fast track.
Some give the result within a day,
and others can take 3 to 4 months for your skill assessment.
Now, what is included in the skill assessment?
Your employment and your education are verified in this.
Keep in mind, if you are offshore to verify,
these bodies have contracts with different companies.
They can send their person there for the verification purposes.
They can call you or send you an email.
This is the cost for the 1st step.
The 2nd step is nomination.
Regarding the nomination,
it is that some are free of cost,
and some nominations charge a fee.
For Instance, if you go for 491 RDA, it can cost from AUD 200 to AUD 800.
Here, we are talking about the Government Fee.
So it varies from free to AUD 800/AUD 1000.
So, this is step 2.
When your pre-invitation has arrived, your nomination or final invitation has arrived,
now you are ready to apply for the Visa.
Visa Application charges range from AUD 4000 to AUD 4100 for a single applicant.
Or if your partner is also with you, their fee will also be included.
These are the 3 steps for which government charges fees.
Different Things can add value to the cost or charge an additional cost.
For example, if your skill assessment is unsuccessful, it can go for review,
it can go for appeal, and it can charge an additional cost.
So, these are the major charges.
For instance, combining these charges for a single applicant
can cost approximately AUD 6000 to AUD 7000, which is not much
if you talk about the Australian dream or Australian Permanent Residence.
Many people are afraid about whether they will be selected or not.
Should they take the step or not?
I will talk about this later.
All the costs I told are the government fees.
Apart from this, we also provide services. I am a registered migration agent.
We are registered with Immigration Department, and we offer services for this.
Our fee varies. It depends from AUD 500 to AUD 3000/ AUD 4000.
It depends on the nature of the case
and how many persons are included in it.
