What will it Cost?
FREE INITIAL ASSESSMENTS
Although officially-recognised (click here to verify our official registrations), the MIGRATION BUREAU is a private immigration consultancy and charges professional fees similar to those of a law firm or accounting practice. Our services are designed to identify your own individual visa application pathway and to protect you from the high risk of failure or substantial delay in the immigration process (click here to view our audited
success rate and past client
satisfaction).
Fees are NOT charged for our initial QUICK-CHECK eligibility assessment or for brief telephone advice to determine if we can help you.
However, the Migration Bureau does charge for in-depth consultations, comprehensive FULL-CHECK immigration assessments and on-going visa case work.
Generally, the Migration Bureau only charges for residency visa processing and other immigration-related matters. Our re-settlement services are offered FREE to our clients, who also receive a basic (FREE) JOBSEEKER PROGRAMME, (with optional paid job vacancy monitoring upgrades available).
Please note: Government visa fees, disbursements and third party costs are always additional.
OPTIONAL: The services provided by our legal & business advisory division, ODG Associates, involve an additional cost, as do Employment Appraisal Reports (and optional job vacancy upgrades) provided by ODG Recruitment . (As mentioned above, the basic JOBSEEKER PROGRAMME is provided free to all clients who have engaged Migration Bureau to process their visa).

VISA PROCESSING - FULL CASE MANAGEMENT
No two migration agents are the same. The Migration Bureau is one of only a few officially-recognised agencies offering a FULL CASE MANAGEMENT service, meaning that we handle all aspects of the residence visa application process for you. Our service provides you with full legal-type representation from start to finish and our experienced consultants deal directly with the immigration authorities and other official bodies on your behalf.
The general nature of fees are agreed in advance with the final fee depending on case complexity and the type of visa processing required.
WRITTEN FEE QUOTATION
You will receive a written fee quotation with your immigration evaluation once we have a better understanding of your case and individual situation. To receive this written, no-obligation quotation, please firstly complete our online FREE QUICK-CHECK eligibility assessment. If positive, you will be invited to complete our paid FULL-CHECK immigration evaluation at which time a full written quotation will be provided BEFORE you commit to the visa process or to the services of the Migration Bureau.
CONVENIENT "PAY AS YOU GO" PAYMENT OPTIONS
Unlike others in the industry, the Migration Bureau does not charge "up-front" fixed fees. Instead, we provide you with a variable fee range. Apart from an initial deposit, our consultants charge on a time-recording basis, similar to a law firm or accounting practice, meaning that you pay on a progressive basis, as and when work is completed on your application**
