FAQ's - Intact Migration Services

Receiving immigration assistance from an unregistered person can lead to serious legal and personal consequences. Unregistered individuals are not authorized to provide advice or lodge visa applications on your behalf under Australian law. This may result in:

• Your visa application being refused or invalidated
• Loss of application fees and delays in processing
• Submission of incorrect or misleading information
• No recourse for complaints or legal action
• Potential for immigration fraud or exploitation

According to the Department of Home Affairs, only Registered Migration Agents (RMAs) can lawfully provide immigration advice or assistance in Australia. The OMARA cannot take action on a complaint against a person that is not on the OMARA Register.
