What does an immigration lawyer in Australia do?
An immigration lawyer advises individuals, families and employers on visas, work and residence permits, citizenship and investment migration. You are likely to need one when you plan to move, work, invest or study in another country, sponsor staff, or apply for residence or citizenship.
How do I find a good immigration lawyer in Australia?
Check that they are qualified or registered to practise in Australia, for example with the local bar association or professional body, and that they have handled matters like yours, including any cross-border element. Ask who will do the work, which languages they work in and how they charge before you instruct them. Each immigration lawyer listed on this page has a profile with their firm, practice areas and contact details, so you can compare them before getting in touch.
How much does an immigration lawyer in Australia cost?
Fees depend on the firm, the experience of the person advising you and how complex the matter is. Firms commonly charge by the hour, a fixed fee for a defined piece of work, or a combination of the two. Ask for a written estimate and the terms of engagement before any work starts.
Do I need a local immigration lawyer in Australia if I am based abroad?
Matters governed by the law of Australia, or that involve its courts, registries or authorities, usually need an adviser qualified there. If you already have an adviser at home, they can often work alongside a local immigration lawyer in Australia, which keeps the advice joined up on cross-border matters.
