Re: agency or not
Even if you do not use an agent go to one of the free seminars on the above link so you would know whats involved. Now I have my visa I was hoping to be out of here by know, but the house is on the market with no Joy. Looks like I have to shell out more money now for the 17th edition course, as I may be here past July. Another paper under my belt even though its multi choice.

Hi Ian, mine cost around £3700 I think thats me including the medicals. I know I may have got it cheaper but I am just happy I now have my permanent visa. Prices now have changed as the visa process is different, as I received mine back in August 2007.

thanks for those replys it really helps.With also paying for the vetassess route for an off shore technical license its giving me a better view on the amount to payout.Also does the cost go up for the amount of dependents on the application.I have 1 OH+3 kids?thanks

Re: agency or not
I used an agent in Oz and it cost me just under AU$5000 this included TRA Fees and Visa cost. I had to pay for medicals approx £800 for family of 5.
I found using an agent took a bit of the stress out of the whole process as they will not submit anything uuntilthey Know they have all info required.
I think the agents fees alone were about AU$2500.
If i were to do it all again i would use an agent again.
It does not cost for more children, but i had to pay for a child to have a medical even though he is not coming with us !!

No, it's one visa application for your whole family. You will all have to have medicals though.
