Costs to plan for

Depending on your pathway, possible costs may include qualification or skills assessment, English testing, document translation, health or police checks, visa or migration-professional fees, travel and relocation.

We will explain any Connecting You fee before you commit. Not every cost applies to every person, and government charges can change.

The Visa Finder is a starting point only. Connecting You does not select your visa or provide migration advice.
