Legislation Governing Immigration in Australia

Australia’s immigration system is primarily governed by the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). This law sets out:

Visa eligibility and requirements.
Responsibilities of visa applicants and sponsors.
The appeal process.
Professional standards for migration agents.

At Bansal Lawyers, we help you understand and navigate this complex legislation.

The Role of a Registered Migration Agent

A registered migration agent is someone authorized by the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) to provide immigration advice and assistance. Registered agents must stay up-to-date with immigration laws and follow a strict Code of Conduct.

Registered migration agents can assist with:

Preparing visa applications.
Providing advice on visa eligibility.
Representing you in tribunal or court.
Requesting ministerial intervention.

However, migration agents cannot guarantee visa approval or expedite processing.
