An incredible experience with exceptionally smooth service — without a doubt, the best migration agency I’ve ever come across! From the very beginning, Nicholas and Katherine have been absolutely amazing. Their professionalism, patience, and clear communication made the entire process stress-free and easy to understand. They were always available to answer my questions and kept me informed at every stage of my visa journey. I’m beyond thrilled and deeply grateful that my sponsorship has been granted! This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and support of the 123 Migration team. Their guidance gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the process. I truly can’t thank them enough for their hard work and genuine care. They don’t just process visas; they help people achieve their dreams.

After facing a possible cancellation of my visa due to my own mistake, I reached out to several lawyers for advice, and most told me it was a lost case. Luckily, a friend recommended Nicholas and I can’t thank him enough for his empathy, dedication, and all the effort he put into my case. Thanks to his support, my visa was finally granted. Beyond his professionalism, Nicholas gave me hope and positivity throughout a very stressful process. I’m truly grateful for everything he did. Thank you again, Nicholas!

Nicholas and Katherine have been incredibly supportive throughout my journey. I first started my process with them in 2023, when they helped me apply for a graduate visa. After that, we began exploring pathways to obtain PR. Nicholas was excellent at presenting realistic options, he was honest, direct, and communicated everything clearly. His time management was also impressive. Katherine was also very helpful and efficient, especially when it came to preparing and reviewing documents to ensure everything was in order. They also supported me with my Skilled Visa application, and today, after 8 years in Australia and two years of working alongside with them, I received my Australian Permanent Residency! Thank you guys. Muchas gracias! Plus they speak both English and Spanish.

My partner and I worked with Nicholas from 123 Migration for our employment sponsorship visa and permanent residency. Nicholas made the entire experience stress free and completely seamless. The process of completing a visa application can be extremely daunting however we felt supported by Nicholas and the team throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend 123 Migration if you need an Australian Visa Agent.

I had a wonderful experience working with Nicholas and the entire 123 migration team. From the very beginning, they were patient, professional, and always ready to answer my questions. The PR process can feel stressful, but with their guidance everything was clear and well-managed. I truly appreciated their attention to detail and the way they kept me updated at every stage. Thanks to their support, my PR was granted, and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Nicholas/123 Migration to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable migration agent.

The 123 Migration Approach: Simple, Professional, Comprehensive

We understand you want clarity, reliability, and speed. Our process is built on over 10 years of migration expertise and systems designed to make life easy for your HR or Admin team.

We turn the typically five-stage DAMA process into a smooth, streamlined journey.

Practical advice with No BS

Simplified work flow

1. Endorsement and Labour Agreement: Get Started with Confidence

Accessing the DAMA requires a formal agreement between your business and the Commonwealth. We handle the critical first steps, ensuring your business is correctly positioned for success, right here in the Shire of Dardanup region.

  • DAR Endorsement: We assist you in applying for the crucial South West DAMA Endorsement from the Shire of Dardanup, providing the required business documents and confirming Good Corporate Citizen status.
  • Labour Agreement Setup: We apply for the formal Labour Agreement directly with the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) on your behalf, setting the foundation for future nominations and access to concessions.
  • Concession Optimisation: We align your application to access available concessions, including reductions for the minimum salary (TSMIT), English language requirements, and age limits where applicable for your nominated occupations.

2. Expert Nomination and Applicant Qualification

This stage is where accuracy truly matters; mistakes can be costly and impact timeframes. We apply our robust systems to correctly qualify both the position and the applicant.

  • LMT Guidance: We provide comprehensive assistance and checklists for Labour Market Testing (LMT) requirements, ensuring you demonstrate genuine efforts to recruit Australians before proceeding with sponsorship.
  • Applicant Pre-Qualification: We correctly qualify your prospective employees, determining if they possess the necessary skills, education, and experience for successful visa grants, including guidance on skills assessments if required.
  • Clear Obligations: We provide clear information on the obligations and responsibilities for both your business (the sponsor) and the visa applicant, ensuring transparency and compliance from day one.
Simplified work flow

3. Seamless Visa Application & Long-Term Planning

We manage the final application stages to achieve your desired outcome: a permanent, skilled workforce.

  • Triple-Check Assurance: Your application receives a comprehensive legal check and is triple-checked by our team of professionals before submission. This meticulous quality control means we rarely receive requests for Information (RFIs) from the DHA.
  • Risk Transparency: We won’t submit an application unless we are 95% confident of an approval, or unless we have advised you of the risks and you instruct us otherwise. We will always tell you the risks upfront.
  • Permanent Residency Pathway: We assist with long-term planning, noting that all DAMA visa holders have a pathway to Permanent Residency (PR), such as the subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) after two years on a 482 visa.

We don’t just claim expertise, we deliver it. Our thoroughness and professionalism lead to extremely high approval rates.
