A registered migration agent provides professional advice and assistance for Australian visa applications, migration planning, eligibility checks, documentation, and communication with the Department. Nepcoms offers support across skilled migration, employer-sponsored visas, student visas, partner visas, and family visas.

A MARA-registered migration agent is authorized to give Australian immigration advice under the migration framework. This gives applicants professional guidance, better application preparation, and support with complex visa pathways, policy updates, and documentation requirements.

The best pathway depends on your age, occupation, English score, work experience, education, and family situation. Common PR pathways include Skilled Independent Visa (189), Skilled Nominated Visa (190), Skilled Work Regional Visa (491) leading to 191, and Employer Nomination Scheme (186). Nepcoms assesses multiple pathways to find the strongest option.

Subclass 189 is a points-tested skilled visa without state nomination. Subclass 190 is a state-nominated skilled visa that gives extra points and PR. Subclass 491 is a regional skilled visa with more nomination points and a pathway to permanent residency through Subclass 191 after meeting eligibility requirements.

The minimum threshold is 65 points, but competitive invitations are often much higher depending on the visa subclass, occupation demand, and invitation rounds. Strong English scores, skilled work experience, and state or regional nomination can improve your total points. 

You can improve points by increasing your English score, gaining skilled work experience, completing eligible qualifications, using spouse skills where applicable, and applying for state nomination (190) or regional nomination (491). Regional nomination provides a larger points boost.
