While the obvious fee associated with a skilled work visa is the cost of the visa itself, there may also be fees associated with secondary applicants, as well as other costs generally associated with the visa process, including skills assessments, health examinations, and legal representation. These expenses can significantly contribute to the overall cost of a visa application.
The Department of Home Affairs publishes a formal fee schedule, which is updated annually and forms the baseline for visa application charges. Depending on whether an applicant applies through a points-tested pathway or an employer-sponsored stream, the applicable fees and employer levies differ significantly.
Keeping track of each fee associated with a skilled work visa can sometimes seem overwhelming. There are a variety of costs, including those set by the visa regulations themselves as well as third-party expenses that can accumulate throughout the visa process. By creating a realistic budget of the process at large helps both applicants and sponsoring businesses avoid unexpected financial burdens.
At Australian Migration Lawyers, we ensure that all of our clients are informed at every step of the process and can budget for their visa journey with confidence.
