tiba89 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 hey just looking for some advice i have just been to a migration agent and i have been told i qualify for a pr visa. First i need to get a skills assessment. How easy is it to apply for this? I applied for my 457 and it was pretty easy and got granted within 5 weeks. the migration agent has quoted me more than double how much it would cost me if i done it myself. I'm just wondering whether i should just pay the money for the agent to do the full thing and have less to worry about or save myself thousands an d do it myself. To be honest i've had a look at the skills assessment requirements and it looks like it would be a hassle to do it myself. Thanks for your advice.

Skills assessments are not all the same and some are considerably harder than others. No way of knowing how difficult yours would be as you haven't mentioned occuoation.

Hopefully someone in same occupatio can comment on skills assessment but trade skills assessments can be harder than average. Is your employer sponsoring for the permanent visa?
