This varies widely by visa type. For a Subclass 189 PR visa the government fee alone is AUD 4,640, plus skills assessment, IELTS, medical, and consultant fees — often totalling ₹4–6 lakhs. A student visa requires course fees plus living costs (AUD 25,000–30,000/year). We offer a free financial consultation to help you plan your budget realistically.

Yes! The Subclass 189 visa requires no job offer, no employer sponsorship, and no state nomination — just your skills assessment, English test score, and enough points. The Subclass 190 needs state nomination but also no specific job offer (some states may ask for one).

Australia has a persistent demand for skilled ICT professionals. Software Engineers, Data Scientists, Cybersecurity Analysts, and Network Engineers are all on the MLTSSL.

After receiving PR, you must live in Australia for 4 years (including at least 1 year as a PR holder) before applying for citizenship. You'll need to pass an Australian Citizenship Test and demonstrate good character and adequate knowledge of English.

While it's possible to self-apply, using a Registered Migration Agent (RMA) significantly improves your chances and ensures your application is complete and correctly lodged. Our consultants are RMA-registered and have helped thousands of Indians successfully migrate.
