Our agents guide you through the entire skills assessment process to ensure the best result.

English Language Requirements
Most Australian skilled visas require you to demonstrate English language proficiency. The accepted tests include IELTS (International English Language Testing System), PTE Academic (Pearson Test of English), and TOEFL iBT. The required scores depend on your visa type — for most skilled visas, you need at least “competent English” (IELTS 6.0 in each band). Higher scores earn additional points towards your visa application.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply for an Australian visa from India?
Yes. Most Australian visa applications can be lodged online from India. You do not need to be in Australia to apply. Our agents consult with you remotely via phone or video call and manage your entire application from lodgement to decision.
How long does it take to get PR in Australia from India?
The timeline depends on your visa pathway. A Subclass 189 or 190 visa typically takes 6-12 months from invitation to decision. Employer-sponsored pathways can take 3-8 months. The skills assessment process adds 2-4 months before you can apply. During your consultation, we provide realistic timeframe estimates.
Do I need IELTS to migrate to Australia?
Most skilled visas require English language test results. IELTS is the most widely accepted, but PTE Academic and TOEFL iBT are also accepted. The minimum score depends on your visa type. Our agents advise on the specific requirements for your chosen pathway.
How much does a migration agent charge for Australia from India?
Fees vary depending on your visa type and case complexity. Migration Expert offers a initial consultation (from A$139) so you can understand your options before any fees apply. Visit our visa fees page for general guidance.
Is it better to use an Australian migration agent or an Indian consultant?
We recommend using a MARA-registered migration agent based in Australia. MARA registration ensures your agent meets Australian government standards, holds professional indemnity insurance, and is accountable to the regulator. An Indian consultant may not hold these protections. Migration Expert agents are all MARA-registered and consult with clients in India remotely.
