Keshab Chapagain
Sole migration agent operating WIDEN under Dynamic Consultancy Pty Ltd. Sydney-based. Registered with MARA since 2015.
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.
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.
How I work
Initial consultations are paid ($200 + 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.

Compliance & professional standards
My practice is regulated under the Migration (Migration Agents Code of Conduct) Regulations 2021. I complete mandatory Continuing Professional Development each registration year and maintain professional indemnity insurance as required by the Office of the MARA.
Consumers have the right to verify my registration status, raise concerns, and access the MARA complaints process at any time.
