Unfortunately, not all of us are celebrities who get visas at the drop of a hat. For most of us ordinary mortals, applying for an Australian visa means paperwork hassles, tedious procedures and protocols at embassies, and endless waiting. This is why the Australian government has authorized migration agents to work in behalf of clients who want their visa application simplified.
