Integrity is of utmost importance to us. We believe in setting realistic expectations for our clients and maintaining honesty throughout our interactions.

Our team of immigration lawyers/registered migration agents/licensed immigration advisers are from diverse backgrounds and fluency in multiple languages, including Tamil, Hindi, and English. You are encouraged to communicate with us in your preferred language, as it enables us to comprehend your needs more effectively. This linguistic capability allows us to understand your legal concerns from a cultural perspective, enabling us to take a comprehensive approach in addressing your legal matters.
We begin by identifying the right Australian visa, confirming your eligibility, and guiding you through the process. This starts with a consultation and is followed by formal paperwork to confirm our services.
Prestige Legal Group charges fair, fixed fees based on urgency, complexity, and time required. We ensure transparency from the start, with personal attention tailored to your case.
We prepare tailored written submissions for your visa, using your specific details and supporting evidence. Once ready, we submit the application and keep you updated throughout.
We keep you informed with regular updates until a decision is made. If the outcome isn’t favourable, we’ll review and advise on your options, including reapplying where possible.

Certainly! While it’s feasible to independently apply for an Australian visa or New Zealand Visa, there are numerous advantages to engaging the services of an immigration lawyer. Australia has a large number of active visa subclasses, each with distinct purposes and varying prerequisites and the documentation required to support as evidence can be difficult to understand.
Determining the most suitable visa subclass for your specific situation can be daunting without the right guidance. Our Melbourne based immigration specialists are well-equipped to provide counsel on visa options, eligibility, and the necessary documentation. With our assistance, you can rest assured the thoroughness and readiness of your application for the authorities’ assessment.
If you require assistance with visa matters for yourself or your loved ones, reach out to the Prestige Legal Group team. Our team, we will assess your situation before providing guidance on the best course of action. Our cost-effective legal solutions can save you both time and money.
