Why this exists
Finding a migration agent shouldn't feel like a sales funnel.
Most people looking for a migration professional spend days cold-calling, repeating their story, and getting vague verbal quotes. Visa Matter flips it — professionals come to you, in writing, with real numbers.
Client-side pricing
A$0 forever.
No platform fee. No commission on the work you engage. No payment handling. Your retainer stays between you and your chosen professional.

Contact supportIs this actually free for me as a client?+
Yes. There is no platform fee to post a matter, receive proposals, or assign one. Visa Matter only charges professionals a flat monthly subscription to access the workspace. You pay your chosen professional directly under their own retainer.
Who are the professionals? Can I trust them?+
Every professional is manually reviewed before they can submit proposals. We verify MARN (Migration Agent Registration Number) or legal practice credentials, and their profile shows these publicly on the directory.
How fast do I get proposals?+
Most briefs receive their first written proposal within 48 hours. Urgent matters are flagged in the intake and professionals who handle urgent work are prioritised.
What if I don't like any of the proposals?+
Walk away. There's no obligation to engage with anyone. You own your brief — you can also re-post it later with more detail or choose to go direct with someone you found elsewhere.
How is my information kept private?+
Your brief is only visible to verified professionals who want to submit a proposal. Your contact details stay with Visa Matter until you assign one professional — then your chosen professional gets your contact info to engage directly.
Does the platform handle my payment or fees?+
No. Visa Matter does not collect client payments, escrow, or handle retainers. Once you assign a professional, they send you their own costs agreement and you pay them directly.
