What is an Australian Registered Migration Agent?

Only Registered Migration Agents in Australia can legally advise on migration matters to Australia.

Solvita Adamovica is registered with the Australian Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA). 

A Registered Migration Agent has completed a course in Australian Migration Law and Practice and is registered with the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA). Registration is granted for 12 months, and then it needs to be renewed. 

Immigration assistance (under section 276 of the Migration Act 1958) is when a person uses or claims to use knowledge of, or experience in, migration procedure to assist with visa applications or other visa matters by:

  • preparing or helping to prepare a visa application or other document

  • advising on a visa application or visa matter

  • preparing for proceedings before a court or review authority in relation to a visa application or visa matter

  • representing in proceedings before a court or review authority in relation to a visa application or visa matter.

A Registered Migration Agent is obliged to act in the best interests of their clients. The professional standards and obligations are administered by the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority. The Registered Migration Agents must follow the Code of Conduct. It sets out the Registered Migration Agent’s obligations to a Client.

If you choose to use a migration agent, you should choose to use a Registered Migration Agent. Registration gives you protection and helps ensure people working as migration agents are aware of current Australian Migration Laws and Procedures and give you correct advice.
