Been using Migration DownUnder for almost a decade and always great service. Special thanks for my husband’s recent visa to Alice and Victoria for their prompt response and professionalism Xx
Alice and Nathan were very helpful and guided me and my sponsor organisation through every step in getting my visa. They do not sugarcoat things, just give the facts. I appreciate the hard work and effort put in by them in getting me my visa :) thank you!
My experience with migration downunder has been excellent. I contacted them to request assistance with the health waiver process. Thank you very much to Alice Wang for assisting me in understanding the entire process. Her prompt response to offering feedback on the documentation supplied, as well as her organisation of the documentation in an organised manner, along with the submission letter, helped to conclude the entire process in a short period of time. I was at ease during the process because, based on my first meeting with Alice, I had complete faith that she was very knowledgeable and experienced in the procedure. I highly recommended them. Thank you once again Alice.
Katrin has been absolutely incredible from start to finish, Katrin made the whole process seem absolutely seamless. Everything was outlined perfectly so I could gather all the information that I needed to get my sponsorship visa. Thank you so much for such an easy experience
We had a fantastic time working with Migration Downunder for the second time, and they really impressed us! They helped us get a Subclass 300 (Prospective Marriage) Visa for my partner, and thanks to their expertise, we’ve now secured three visas with them! We’re so grateful.
From day one, the whole team was amazing. They were professional, caring, and super detail-oriented. Visa processes can be tricky, but Migration Downunder made it smooth and reassuring. They kept us informed and confident every step of the way with their great communication.
Even though visa times can be unpredictable, the team made waiting easy. Their regular updates, quick replies, and genuine care made a big difference. What really impressed us was their deep understanding of immigration and how they explained complex steps in a simple way. Every interaction—whether by email, phone, or video call—made us feel supported, confident and safe.
A huge thank you to Silvana, Christina, Julie, and the entire Migration Downunder team. You made us feel like more than just clients. Your kindness, attention to detail, and friendly approach turned something stressful into something calm and confident.
If you’re looking for a team that knows their stuff, communicates clearly, and genuinely cares about your outcome—Migration Downunder is the team for you. We can’t recommend them enough!
I had the best experience with Migration Downunder! I worked with Katrin and Iris, and truly appreciated their support, knowledge, and patience in explaining every step.

Fantastic team of people. Professional, approachable and great attention to detail. We loved working with Katrin and Victoria who were guiding us every step of our way and we are glad that we found the best people in the industry.

My wife is Thai I am Australian. We married in Thailand 4 years ago. We made big mistake using Thai agent. He took our money and did a poor job. Then we discovered through one of my wife’s friends. Migration down under and the wonderful Silvana and Victoria. They fought for us and they sacrificed their time and the company did a free application to get my wife’s visa. Service above and beyond any company I have ever dealt with. If you want to get a visa for your partner this is a wonderful company to deal with.

Their services 💯 , will be using your services when needed. Thanks, and keep up the excellent work.
Quick, helpful and informative all the way. They helped me to gather documentation in a step to step process and always there to answer any questions. It couldn't be any better.

Couldn't recommend Katrin and the company enough! Made everything smooth sailing and helped me get my 482 visa with no stress!
Extremely helpful and knowledge. I was looking to sponsor a staff member as a skilled migrant and the advice they gave me was invaluable and saved me a lot of time. Thanks Julie and team 🙏🏽
Great service
We applied and gained visa 300. Our journey commenced with Julie who was very caring and understanding and inspired our confidence with her authoritative depth of knowledge. Based on this we engaged in their services. We were assigned Silvana as our case manager and she was magnificent!!! Silvana was so genuinely caring and patient with us and exhibited great knowledge of the migration system. Through her ongoing support and conversations, we really felt like Silvana was truly batting for us and was out friend. Silvana is trustworthy and diligent and very caring and compassionate. If you get Silvana consider yourself very fortunate indeed!!!
A few months after the above, we needed to organise visas (600) for my fiancés son's to come out from the Philippines to attend our wedding. We were very anxious about the process. But when we engaged our wonderful Silvana and the Migration Downunder team, we were immediately put at ease. Their professionalism and thorough understanding of every detail of the process provided us with confidence. And Silvana's very caring and compassionate commitment gave us a great sense of trust. Silvana, Julie and the team have become very endearing to us and our trust and appreciation of them is very high indeed. And we had wonderful success again and the children attended our wedding which was a very blessed occasion. Thank you Migration Downunder!!!🙏🤗🤗
And now....we are back again for the third time and applying for residency.... More on that later....😊
I am writing to thank you for the outstanding work you did for me. You were superbly efficient and professional. Words cannot give my appreciation justice. My experience was excellent with the service provided. Initially I had my video consultation with Julie who was very professional , very knowledgeable and exceptionally polite. Later I interacted with Alice who assisted me with the same level of care and professionalism. Both individuals were extremely professional and approachable, which made the process of my visa application seamless and pleasant. I would love to recommend this service to anyone looking for expert assistance and excellent service. Once again my heartful thanks and appreciation for you and everyone else worked on my case.
From our first interactions and throughout our journey to becoming permanent residents Alice and the team at Migration Downunder have been responsive to all our queries and guided us through the whole process, would 100% recommend to anyone, Thank you so much!

I have been recommended by a friend to see Julie Williams to assist with my sister’s declined tourist visa. She immediately knew what to do and advised not to appeal but to re-lodge a new application but through the sponsored route. Silvana Lavic was assigned to my case and she was very professional, kind, and respectful. She really understood our situation and took the time to explain the process. Really happy with our outcome as my sister’s toursit visa has now been approved and she can spend Christmas with us! Thank you to Julie, Silvana and the whole team at Migration Down Under.
What a great team to work with! Silvana and Christina did an amazing job guiding us through the process for the parent visa application for my mother.

I highly recommend Migration Downunder for any migration-related services. From the initial consultation to the final approval, Katrin, Iris and entire team guided me through the complex process with professionalism and expertise. Their attention to detail and timely communication made all the difference. Five stars isn't enough – I'd give them 10 stars if I could …
The team at Migration Downunder is fantastic. We have used them for our entire migration journey so far, recently being granted permanent residency for myself and my children, giving us that further stability living here with my Aussie partner :)
They are thorough, available and responsive to questions and clarification, and instilled a sense of confidence in the process.

I've heard so many good things about Migration Downunder as some of my colleagues were also former clients. When I was referred to this migration agency to process my 482 visa through a labour agreement, I never hesitated to hire their service. The entire process was surprisingly smooth. Everything was very organized given that they are all well-verse with migration processes. Katrin & Christine were very proactive, knowledgeable, and always focused on helping me achieve my goals. All instructions were very clear and easy to understand on my end which resulted to the approval of my 482 visa application in less than a month. Highly recommended!
