What an assessment actually covers

SA Migration does not issue visas or permits. The service we provide is professional advisory work — here is exactly what that includes.

Eligibility Assessment

We review your circumstances against the requirements of each relevant category and tell you honestly where you stand.

Category Assessment

Where more than one pathway might apply, we help you understand which route is realistic for your situation.

Document Review

We check what you have, what's missing, and what is unlikely to hold up under scrutiny.

Application Preparation

If you proceed, we help prepare a submission that properly reflects the requirements of your category.

Employer Compliance Advice

For businesses employing foreign nationals, we advise on obligations, exposure and workforce planning.

Professional Representation

Where a matter requires formal legal representation, we engage independent attorneys for that purpose.

What we advise on

These are the legal subjects our consultations cover — not government documents we issue.

Immigration Consultation & Assessment

General eligibility, category selection, and application-readiness reviews.

Appeals, Refusals & Decision Review

Visa refusals, undesirable/prohibited status, waivers, and judicial review options.

Employer & Corporate Immigration

Foreign workforce compliance, planning, and employer immigration audits.

We also advise on the following visa and residency categories:
Work & Critical Skills Visas Permanent Residence & Citizenship Spouse & Life Partner Visas Business & Investment Visas Retirement Visas Study & Visitor Visas Digital Nomad & Remote Work Visas Asylum & Refugee Matters

Every category above is discussed as part of an assessment or consultation — SA Migration does not sell visas, permits, or guaranteed outcomes.
