Our consultations and services at Hayden Migration are offered for fixed fees. We do this so that you are protected by our services and advice, and so that we are protected by the law, for the services that we provide to our clients. Once you pay your first fee at Hayden Migration, you become a 'client' which means that we will retain the information you provide us with, and the information that we share with you, on file for seven years which protects both us and our clients. All clients who proceed with our full services will have the consultation fee deducted from our total professional services fee.

We do not make the decisions regarding Departmental matters. The only authority to make decisions regarding an immigration matter is the Department of Home Affairs. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that your visa will be granted, but we will do our very best to assist you with your application, and provide you with quality advice.

Mostly, yes. The department has made it accessible to apply from overseas for some visa categories. It is important to check that the visa you are applying for, allows offshore applications.

An Australian Registered Migration Agent MUST be registered with the Migration Agents Registering Authority (MARA), or they are not permitted to provide Australian Immigration advice. Many overseas agents are not registered, so it is important to check that your Migration Agent has the correct registration with the MARA office. All registered Migration Agents are provided with a MARA number, so remember to ask your agent for their MARA number.

Australian Immigration Law requires you to have spent four (4) years as a lawful resident in Australia. It also requires you to have spent at least twelve months living in Australia as a permanent resident immediately prior to making your application for citizenship. You must not have been absent from Australia for more than a certain number of days before you making your application for Australian citizenship. For more information, contact us today!
