Where was YOUR Registered Migration Agent during COVID?

Where did the Philippines-based Registered Migration Agents go?

Most Registered Migration Agents during COVID left the Philippines! Most went back to Australia and kept very quiet. Not Down Under Visa!

Jeff Harvie from Down Under Visa remained in the Philippines and kept working for his clients. He opened the Down Under Visa office every day. Staff worked from home. Some lived in our home. We kept working, because our clients needed us. We found ways to keep helping, and we kept clients spirits up during the dark COVID days when the world was locked down.

We discovered ONLINE WEDDINGS (NOTE: No longer recognised in Australia, but WERE recognised in those days), and helped 50 or 60 couples to marry and apply for Australian Partner Visas. We achieved the apparently impossible, rather than just giving in. We successfully applied for Travel Ban Exemptions so that couples could still be together. We never let our clients down, and to this day we still work every day and STILL never let our clients down!

What Australian visas do Down Under Visa manage for you?

Down Under Visa are still working every day to help you to bring your sweetheart from The Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam or Cambodia to Australia.

Partner Visas: For couples who are committed to spending the rest of their lives together. Planning to marry. Already married. Already living in de facto relationships.

Tourist Visas: For couples who adore each other, but are not quite ready to say “She is definitely the one!” You need a bit more time, and what better way to get to know each other properly than to spend 3 months or so together in Australia.

Also Child Visas, Parent Visas, and Citizenship applications for kids (of Aussie Dads) or for permanent residents.

Which countries can we get Australian visas from?

We’re Australian Citizens but our home and our office is in Manila in the Philippines. We are South East Asian specialists. This is our home. This is our work. This is our lives. We manage visa applications for Australians who are lovingly involved with ladies or gents from the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia.
