MARA consultants (Migration Agents Registered Authority) are licensed professionals authorized by the Australian Government to provide immigration advice, lodge visa applications, and represent applicants before the Department of Home Affairs. In the UAE—especially Dubai and Abu Dhabi—MARA-registered consultants help applicants navigate complex Australia PR pathways like Subclass 189, 190, and 491 by ensuring eligibility checks, accurate documentation, and skills assessment guidance. They stay updated on policy changes, state nomination criteria, points requirements, and occupation lists to reduce errors and delays. MARA agents also review documents, prepare submissions, and assist with Expression of Interest (EOI) and SkillSelect lodgements. Their expertise improves application quality, minimises refusals, and provides strategic guidance on boosting points for a stronger profile. Working with a MARA-certified professional gives UAE applicants confidence, transparency, and compliant migration support aligned with Australian regulations.

To migrate from Dubai to Australia, you typically need to determine your eligibility for a visa, such as a skilled, family, or business visa. The most common pathway is through skilled migration, which involves completing a skills assessment, taking an English test, submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect, and if invited, applying for a permanent visa, according to Abroad Routes. You must meet specific criteria, which often include being under 45 years old and achieving a minimum score of 65 points on a points-based assessment.

General steps for skilled migration

• Check eligibility: Determine which visa subclass you qualify for, such as the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189), Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190), or Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491).
• Complete a skills assessment: Have your occupation and qualifications assessed by the relevant Australian authority to ensure they meet Australian standards.
• Take an English language test: Prove your English language ability through a test, as this is a key requirement for most skilled visas.
• Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI): Lodge your EOI through the government’s to be considered for a visa invitation.
• Receive an invitation: Wait to be invited to apply for a visa.
• Submit your visa application: Once invited, formally apply for the permanent visa through the Department of Home Affairs website, providing all required documents and paying the necessary fees.
• Undergo checks: You will need to undergo medical checks and provide police clearances as part of the final approval process.
