Applying for an Australian visa can be a confusing experience for those unfamiliar with the application process. It can involve a number of fees, and these vary greatly between migration agents.

The Code of Conduct of the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) only requires that the fees be ‘fair and reasonable’.

However, the Code is very clear on the rules that migration agents must follow during the visa application process.
