samlab Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hi We’re a family of 3 currently on a BVA and we need to apply for a BVB, were waiting for a 186 visa decision. Our agent has quoted $250+gst per person and $145 fee! That’s almost $1,000 It looks easy enough to complete ourselves Are we being ripped off?

Guest The Pom Queen Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 It sounds average to me. If you think you know what you are doing and can afford to risk a mistake then do it yourself and save the $1,000. Personally I would prefer to pay it to know that it was submitted correctly and someone was accountable if it wasn’t. Just make sure your agent is registered. Also use this as a guide for pricing of agents. https://www.mara.gov.au/using-an-agent/working-with-your-agent/agent-fees/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samlab Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Just to update my post... My bad! We’ll sort of. The MA didn’t clearly write the cost in the email. Total BVB Costs are $250+gst MA fees and $145 lodgement fee, inclusive for 3 of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
