Why use a registered migration agent
In Australia, only a registered migration agent (or an Australian legal practitioner) may lawfully give immigration assistance for a fee. “Registered” means listed on the public OMARA register and bound by a Code of Conduct. Keshab Chapagain’s registration number is MARN 1576536 — verify it at portal.mara.gov.au. Working with a registered agent means your advice is accountable, your fees are set out in writing before any work begins, and one agent is legally responsible for your matter from start to finish. See how to choose a migration agent for what to check.
What we help with
Employer sponsorship — 482 and 186
Sponsorship, nomination and visa applications for the 482 Skills in Demand visa and the pathway to permanent residence through the 186 visa. Employers can start with how to sponsor a worker in Australia.
407 training visas
A particular strength of the practice. The 407 training visa succeeds or fails on the structured training plan, and we prepare these end to end.
Skilled and partner visas
Points-tested skilled visas (189/190/491) and partner visas (820/801 and 309/100), prepared and lodged with the evidence they need.
Visa refusals and ART review
If a visa has been refused or cancelled, ART review deadlines are short — often 21 days and not extendable — so act early. We prepare and present reviews built on the exact reasons in the decision.
White-label documentation for other agents
Nomination, genuine-position and labour-market-testing documentation for other registered migration agents on a documents-only basis — see for migration agents.
How we work
Every engagement follows the same order: a consultation and written pathway first, then a costs agreement you read and accept, then the work. Nothing is charged until you accept the agreement, and the consultation fee is credited in full if you proceed. Matters are handled personally by Keshab — not passed to a junior.
Areas we serve
Based in Campsie, we work with clients across Sydney — including the Canterbury-Bankstown area and the Inner West — and remotely across Australia and overseas. If you are local, see our Campsie office page.

Questions we get asked first
Do I need a migration agent for my visa?
You are not required to use one, but in Australia only a registered migration agent or an Australian legal practitioner may lawfully give immigration assistance for a fee. For complex matters — employer sponsorship, refusals, partner-visa evidence — professional preparation materially affects how the application is assessed. Keshab Chapagain is MARN 1576536, verifiable on the OMARA register.
How much does a migration agent in Sydney cost?
Professional fees depend on the visa and complexity and are always set out in a written costs agreement before any work begins, as the Code of Conduct requires. A consultation is $220 inc. GST for 30 minutes (or $440 for an extended 60-minute session), credited in full toward your engagement fee if you proceed.
Can you help if I am not in Sydney?
Yes. Most matters are handled remotely by phone, email and video, with documents exchanged securely. The practice acts for clients across Australia and overseas, as well as locally from the Campsie office.
What languages do you consult in?
Consultations are available in English, Nepali and Hindi.
