Talent Visa – Licensed & Trusted Migration Professionals
Why Licensing Matters?
When you’re planning a move to Australia or New Zealand, you’re making one of the most important decisions of your life. Immigration is not simply paperwork—it’s a legal process with high stakes for you and your family.
That’s why it’s essential to work only with licensed and registered immigration advisers. Licensing isn’t a bureaucratic formality; it’s your protection. It ensures that your adviser is qualified, knowledgeable, and accountable to strict professional standards.
Unlicensed or unregistered advisers can mislead you about your options, lodge incorrect or dishonest applications, or even take your money and disappear. Mistakes or fraud in your visa process can result in refusal, bans on future visas, lost time, wasted money, or even jeopardise your dreams of relocating altogether.
At TalentVisa, our commitment is to your security and success. We’re proud to be licensed and fully compliant with the legal requirements of both Australia and New Zealand. Our advisers hold the right credentials and follow strict codes of conduct to ensure you get honest, professional, and expert advice every step of the way.
New Zealand: Immigration Advisers Authority (IAA)
In New Zealand, immigration advice can legally be given only by individuals licensed by the Immigration Advisers Authority (IAA), unless they fall into narrow exempt categories (for example, New Zealand lawyers with practising certificates).
Since May 2010, all immigration advisers who are not exempt must hold an IAA licence, regardless of whether they’re based in New Zealand or overseas. The purpose of this system is to protect migrants by setting clear, enforceable standards for the profession.
Licensed advisers must meet competency requirements and follow the IAA’s Code of Conduct, which demands honesty, professionalism, respect, fair fees, and ongoing communication with clients.
Choosing a licensed adviser ensures you get:
- Specialist expertise in New Zealand immigration
- Accurate, lawful advice tailored to your situation
- Protection against fraud or unethical conduct
- Support preparing your visa and settling in New Zealand
We strongly encourage you to check any adviser’s licence status on the official IAA register and never work with anyone who refuses to prove they’re licensed or properly supervised.
Australia: Registered Migration Agents (MARA)
In Australia, the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) regulates all migration agents nationally under the Migration Act 1958. Advisers must be registered with MARA to legally offer immigration advice.
It is a criminal offence in Australia to provide paid immigration advice without being registered. Registration is not just a permission—it is a commitment to ongoing professional development, ethical practice, and accountability to clients.
Registered migration agents must:
Choosing a licensed adviser ensures you get:
- Stay up to date through continuing education
- Abide by a strict Code of Conduct that ensures integrity, competence, and fair dealing
- Manage your visa process professionally and transparently
By choosing a registered agent, you protect yourself from:
- Inaccurate or misleading advice
