Cost of ACS RPL and 175 visa through agent

DiscoStu · 19-06-2008, 10:41 AM

Hi all

I'm about to start applying for RPL assessment through the ACS and then a 175 visa. Not wanting the whole process to take forever, I'm thinking of using either PTLabs or Go Matilda. Does anyone know roughly how much extra this would cost me on top of the visa costs?
Thanks

Have you contacted us and/or Peter for a fee proposal?

Best regards.

Hi and welcome to PIO, We are using Go Matilda, whilst we didn't get a quote from pllabs, we did feel the Go Matilda's fee was a fair one, in comparison to the other 2 quotes we got.

There service has been brilliant, the person who we are dealing with (he is based in Melbourne), has been great, I have asked such daft questions and plenty of them too, response to our questions has always been quick. We tend to email any queries in the evening and by time we get up in the morning there is a reply and small time gap where we are up and they are still working in Melbourne.

As for cost, I suspect each fees by vary to case to case, could be wrong but in a nutshell the the whole thing will cost us about £4000, including agents fee, acs rpl application fee, visa, medicals etc. We certainly couldn't got our rpl application complete without the help of our agent, we feel it has been money well spent. Although there are couple on here are going to try and do it without an agent.

Hope that helps. I suggest you get a quote for fees from both, Go Matilda will provide a quote free of charge where I think ptlabs you have to pay $50.

Good Luck and there are plenty of us on here doing or have done the ACS Rpl so free feel to ask questions.

I haven't Alan, I was just looking for a rough guesstimate while I work out my finances and how much I should set aside for this.

Hi again, Im sure if you request a quote from Go Matilda today, Im sure Alan will encourage the right person to give you speedy response, you will probably have a quote back by tomorrow morning.

Any chance of a discount Alan for plugging your company????

Hi DiscoStu

My OH is also putting together his ACS and RPL. We are not using either of the companies mandisfam mentioned but a local one to us, who have also been absolutely spot on so far.

I agree also that you are looking at around the £4k figure, give or take a couple of hundred pounds, but that is inclusive of everything.

Good luck with your assessment, ours is talking OH forever, cracking me up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
