is that in total, including the visa fees and skill assessment fees?
see my other post on your other thread re my agents costs. even if it is everything in, and i mean everything inc meds/police checks etc, then it still seems too much. how many are in your family?

It could be, but some agents do charge a lot more than others and it would be best to check that it does include everything.
Ours cost 1900+ Vat plus we had to pay for everything else as well.
To the OP:
It would be better to get a few quotes from different agents, also make sure that they are MARA or MIA registered. What is the name of the company who have given you that quote as there is a few out there that should be avoided.
