I encourage you to contact your local Australian diplomatic mission. Your education provider in Australia may be able to assist with visa applications.

if you do not feel confident in lodging an application, or if your case is complex, you may wish to use a migration agent to help you. If you do decide to use a migration agent, use a registered migration agent.

When searching for a migration agent in your country, you should:

* consider using an agent in your country who is registered with the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) in Australia, if available
and
* make sure that the agent that you use meets any local laws or registration requirements in your country.

thanks for that dadpad!

No problems Willard. anytime you want me to spend half an hour researching for you just ask. I have nothing better to do with my time.

This is why (long ago) I sort of gave up responding to these enquiries & instead posted government links containing the wanted information.

I'm sure Willard is very grateful indeed for the information you've provided. I'm impressed, anyway!:wink:
