Migration Agent & Visa Fees
Below is a list of Australia migration agent fees (VisaEnvoy) and the Department of Home Affairs visa application charges. Government visa charges are indexed on 1 July each year and many rose significantly on 1 July 2026, so please confirm the current government charge with your consultant before you lodge. We can act on your behalf in your application for an Australian visa, for which we charge a professional fee.
