Are You Thinking About Migrating to Australia or New Zealand?
Deciding to relocate to another country is a major undertaking for yourself and your family. It is often a complex and difficult process, most likely expensive and time-consuming, as well as stressful and very worrying. Government requirements and application processes are also constantly changing. In this environment, it is very easy to get it wrong or make a mistake.
5 Common pitfalls and mistakes visa applicants make:
Relying on the internet for information certainly has its risks. Too often, the information is generic, most likely out of date, or at worst, wrong. It is best to seek advice from a qualified migration agent to assess your circumstance so you may be provided with correct and updated information in regard to the visa you wish to apply.
Listening to relatives and friends for advice and support is another common mistake. What previously worked for them may not in fact work for you now. It’s important to understand that everyone’s situation and particular circumstance is different.
Not asking the right question about issues you are worried about because you are frightened of being judged does no one any favors. You need to be open and honest, and willing and able to ask any question – about the things you are not sure of and the things you are sure of.
Leaving everything to the last minute is very risky and stressful for everyone. We understand that short timelines are sometimes unavoidable. However, when visa applicants (and visa holders) fail to give their migration matter the necessary priority, it is a recipe for a disaster.
Choosing the cheapest option can also very easily end up as an expensive disaster. Too often we are asked for advice and help to fix someone’s personal train wreck. It is very dispiriting telling a client that you don’t have a magic wand and cannot fix their migration problem.
The reasons we stated above show how crucial it is to make the right decision and to choose the best migration pathway and visa options that best meet your needs.
