hello, im looking for an Australian migration agent in the London area. Has anyone used an agent in London that can be recommended please? thanks alot for your help Gavin

hello mate, yes we are going through the visa bureau, they have been brilliant. heres the phone number 02077319018 or you can go online and look at there website. thanks Laura

Do you really need one? Many people do it themselves with a lot of help from here and the Immigration forum, others find it easier to use an agent but then find they might as well have done it themselves.

The other thing is, you don't necessarily need one close by. Those that do use agents find them all over the place - including Aus.

A few good ones actually post on the Immigration forum, so have a hunt. If they are no good, they don't last long there

But in answer to your question - no I don't know any, sorry but hope the above helps

In London
Ian Harrop & Associates.

It doesn't really matter where the agent is as long as they are registered. We used "Go Matilda". They were excellent (we have the visa). See here: http://www.gomatilda.com

Good luck.

We used an agent based in London, but i wish that we'd used 'Go Matilda' - never heard a bad word about them, and friends of ours say that they are fantastic!

we have used www.conceptaustralia.co.uk who are based in the south east of london , we found these very good and we are nearly there with our visas and have had no problems

Hi

I used 1st Contact Migration (office in Victoria) and they were fab. They give you a free hour consultation so check them out.

Good luck

Hi there, we also used www.1stcontact.co.uk as at the time when we applied it was no visa no fee. They came recommended to use from friends and they we excellent. Good luck.

loads of people telling you different agents to go with....we are using Sue Tempany from Ian Harrops who has been superb...more importantly she will take the time to explain everything to you and the best way of doing things...worth every penny! In fact to be perfectly honest its actually like getting a friend to do the application for you!! (and paying them to do it!! ) ha ha [email protected]

She was also reccomended by a reader in the last copy of Australia Magazine

As has been mentioned in most cases it's easy to do your own visa application. Depending on how good you are at paper work and using this site you will receive a lot of advice.
If you use an agent I would recommend that you detail to prospective agents your circumstances and ask for a written price for their services. If they cannot give you a quote I would not use them.

www.globalvisas.com based in St Pauls. They were excellent, money well spent, and being local to my work then made it really quick to drop docs in, and keep the process going.

Gavin,

What category of visa are you considering?

Best regards.

we have been using workpermit.com who have been great, always contacting us with details of each step required and timescales involved.
