Keshab Chapagain
Sole migration agent operating WIDEN under Dynamic Consultancy Pty Ltd. Sydney-based. Registered with MARA since 2015.
The migration agent that other migration agents learn from. WIDEN is an OMARA-approved CPD provider — our training is rated ★4.8 by 40+ registered migration agents.
About the CPD →Background
I came to Australia from Nepal in 2007 as an international student. After completing a Master of Accounting, I pursued migration law and became a MARA-registered migration agent in 2015 after completing the Graduate Diploma of Australian Migration Law and Practice.
Alongside the practice, I write and deliver OMARA-approved CPD for registered migration agents through Widen CPD (provider PPA10000420) — live Category A workshops and self-paced Category B modules.
The practice runs on automation I built myself: enquiry handling, booking recovery, review requests, the migration alerts list and the monthly data refresh behind this site.
I am currently studying a Diploma of Law through the Legal Profession Admission Board (LPAB) to deepen my legal grounding across the areas of law that intersect with migration practice.
I consult in English, Nepali, and Hindi — which is relevant for the South Asian diaspora communities I frequently work with.
Outside the practice I founded One Source Sangha, a small community and reading library around the world's wisdom traditions — including a Hindu and Buddhist festival calendar for Australian cities. It is separate from WIDEN and gives no migration advice.

How I work
Initial consultations are paid ($330 inc. GST, 30 minutes via Zoom). A tax invoice bearing MARN 1576536 is issued. The OMARA Consumer Guide is provided to all clients before the consultation begins. This is conducted under section 43 of the Migration (Migration Agents Code of Conduct) Regulations 2021.
After the consultation, if ongoing assistance is needed, a written service agreement is issued before any further work commences. This sets out the scope, fees, and responsibilities clearly for both parties. It is required by section 42 of the Code.
I do not provide migration advice via email, social media, or unpaid channels. This is to ensure every client receives advice grounded in their full circumstances and properly documented per professional standards.
