Important Questions To Ask A Registered Migration Agent
When asking a question to a migration agent lets be clear about what we wish to ask
. The following are some important questions that should be clarified.
- How long they have been in service?
- What type of services they provide?
- The professional Code of Conduct they follow?
- The Knowledge in legal ethics?
- Cost of the Processing?
It is always good to know how long an agency has been in service so that they have strong knowledge in the visa processing and a adherence to the professional code of conduct. Always use a registered migration agent (RMS). In general, the length of their service will show their credits from the customers they had handled.
Secondly we need to find what type of services the agents provide, as the agents normally provide only a pure visa processing service. Some may provide some ad-on services, such as education, recruitment or business brokering. Or even an end to end services from the processing of visa till the customer gets settled in country.
The professionalism followed by the agents is very important as it is the service they provide to the customer who seeks the agencys help where he needs to be guided although the entire VISA process where all the applicants might not be aware of the migration process. Registered migration agents, registered with the MARA must comply with the Code of Conduct.
It is always good to check if the agents are up to date with the legal rules as migration process is a very sensitive process which is a movement from one country to the other and in case of any legal issues it would be really helpful if the agency takes up the responsibility to clear the issues.
Finally the cost of the migration agencies which needs to be considered at top priority. There arent much agencies who process the migration process free of cost except for a few who dont charge much. It is always good to find out the cost and then proceed so that their are no hidden extras demanded at the end of the process. A cost agreement should be signed upon commencement.
Apart from the above we may also ask a few simple questions like the below to get more information.
