Senior-led migration. No handoffs, no surprises.
Fourteen years inside one of the most compliance-driven immigration systems in the world. Sponsorship, work visas, permanent residency, complex personal matters. We tell you what it costs before we start — and the registered agent who assesses your matter is the one who prepares it.
You’re in one of two situations.
Start where you are.
You’ve found someone you want to keep.
You’ve got a candidate — or an employee already on your team — and now you need to sponsor them. You want to know what it costs, who pays what, and how long it takes. Standard Business Sponsorship, 482, the 186 permanent pathway. Fixed fees, quoted before we start.
What it costs to sponsor a worker → Expanding to AustraliaYou’re bringing a business into the market.
You’ve built something that works in your home market and you’re entering Australia and the broader APAC region. Entity setup, sponsorship, visas for your core team, permanent residency from day one. One person, start to finish.
How market entry works →Not a business? Partner visas, Section 57 responses, and health and character waivers are half of what we do. Individual & family migration →
Australia is not a fallback market.
It is the base from which
APAC gets built properly.
For a decade the default APAC play was Singapore or Dubai. Both still work — for the right business. But the cost base, geopolitical pressures, and IP risk profile of those jurisdictions has shifted. Australia offers something neither can match: rule of law at OECD standards, clean Western-jurisdiction positioning, and a predictable talent pathway.
Rule of law at OECD standards
Your IP, your code, your brand are protected. Clean jurisdiction — no US-China tech rivalry tension for Western-backed companies.
No talent lottery
Unlike the US H-1B system, your visa outcome is not random. 44,000 employer-sponsored PR places in 2025–26 — your team's pathway is plannable.
R&D Tax Incentive
43.5 cents back per dollar spent on product development. English-speaking, enterprise-driven economy with strong B2B demand.
APAC gateway
2 hours to Singapore. Compatible time zones across Southeast Asia. Gateway to a $4 trillion regional economy.
Regulatory credibility
Political stability and IP protection your European investors trust immediately. A credible permanent base — not a temporary holding position.
Enterprise demand
B2B SaaS, AI, fintech, cybersecurity, climate tech, industrial technology and deep tech — Australia's enterprise sector has real appetite and budget.
Our clients have already proved their model.
They're choosing Australia deliberately.
We work with companies that have traction — revenue, customers, or capital — in their home market and are ready to scale into Australia and the broader APAC region. We also work with individuals and families navigating complex personal migration, at the same standard of care.
You've built something that works in your home market. Australia is your APAC beachhead.
You have 3–20 core staff to relocate, a product with proven enterprise demand, and a board that wants APAC revenue on the plan. The H-1B system cost you $100,000 per hire and gave you uncertainty. Australia's employer-sponsored pathway is predictable, plannable, and doesn't reset every April. We handle entity setup, Standard Business Sponsorship, 482 visa nominations for your team, and the 186 permanent residency pathway from day one.
Learn more →Singapore is obvious. Australia is strategic.
You've built a strong business in Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, or elsewhere in Europe. You need a headquarters your board, investors, and legal counsel will be comfortable with long-term. Australia offers political stability, IP protection at OECD standards, and a regulatory environment that European businesses trust immediately. A credible permanent base — not a temporary holding position.
Learn more →Your visa matters. Not just commercially — personally.
Partner visas. Section 57 responses. Health and character waivers. Resident return visas. Behind every one of these is a real person, a real relationship, or a real family — not a case number. Fixed fees, clear advice, and a 95% positive outcome rate on S57 matters. If your situation is straightforward, we'll tell you honestly. If it's not, we're the right people to have in your corner.
Learn more →From the decision to expand —
to your team holding permanent residency.
Most migration agents can file a visa. Very few understand the full commercial journey a business takes to land in Australia and build a team here. This is what we manage — end to end.
Every engagement starts with a strategy call. Fixed-fee quote and clear timeline before any work begins. No retainers. No open-ended billing.
Register your entity
Pty Ltd registration, ABN, GST, local bank account, and resident director — everything your business needs to be lawfully operating in Australia from day one.
Standard Business Sponsorship approval
We prepare and lodge your application to become an approved sponsor with the Department of Home Affairs. Without this, no team members can be nominated. We structure the evidence file to ensure approval.
482 SID nominations and visas for your team
We nominate each role, manage Labour Market Testing, verify salary thresholds, and lodge individual 482 visa applications for your core team. Engineers, PMs, product leads — all qualify.
186 ENS — permanent residency for key staff
After two years on a 482 visa, your team transitions to permanent residency via the Temporary Residence Transition stream. 44,000 PR places allocated for 2025–26.
Ongoing compliance and growth management
Salary threshold indexation, occupation code changes, new nominations as you hire, and accredited sponsor upgrades as your team grows. We monitor this so a compliance issue never catches you off-guard.
You have a runway.
You don't need a slow process.
Companies expanding into Australia have boards to report to, teams waiting on decisions, and investors who want APAC revenue on the plan. We are structured to match that pace.
Strategy call within 24 hours
Tell us your situation. We'll tell you which pathway fits, what the realistic timeline looks like, and what it will cost. In one call.
Fixed fees, quoted before we start
You are managing burn rate. You don't need a legal retainer eating into your runway. Every engagement is fixed-fee, quoted in writing before any work begins. No surprises.
One point of contact, start to finish
Your matter is not passed between a junior team and a senior reviewer. You deal with the same person who assessed your case, prepared your file, and will respond when you have a question.
Compliance built in from day one
Poor sequencing costs companies months. We align entity structure, sponsorship, and visa strategy together — so you don't have to restructure six months in because someone missed a dependency.

I'm Ieva. I'm a registered migration agent (MARN 1466195), a migrant, and a founder. I'm also the person who will actually work on your matter.
I grew up in Lithuania while the country was dismantling the Soviet system and building something new from scratch. There was no playbook. I built my first ventures in that environment — including one of the first internet cafés in the country — and I learned early that navigating a system that doesn't yet make sense is not a problem. It is the operating condition.
When I migrated to Australia, I rebuilt my professional life inside one of the most compliance-driven regulatory systems in the world. I know what it costs to get that wrong. I also know what structured, properly sequenced market entry looks like when it's done right.
Today I run a migration and advisory practice built around one type of client: a company that has proved its model somewhere in the world and is making a deliberate move into Australia. These clients don't need hand-holding. They need certainty, speed, and someone who has been on both sides of the process.
I'm also building Haga.Pro — a platform that integrates immigration into international hiring for Australian employers. I'm not advising founders to build things. I'm doing it at the same time.
What structured migration actually produces.
of S57 response matters result in a positive outcome
employer-sponsored PR places available in 2025–26 — your team's pathway is plannable
to your strategy call — from first contact to a clear picture of your options
Decision in January. Team operational in Sydney CBD by Q2.
Series B company. Entity registered, SBS approved, first 482 visa lodged, and team operational in Sydney CBD by Q2. Entity registration, sponsorship, LMT compliance, and individual nominations managed as a single coordinated process. No delays caused by sequencing errors. No surprises on fees.
APAC HQ. Board satisfied. PR pathway locked from day one.
CTO and two senior engineers on 482 visas within four months. 186 PR pathway mapped from day one so team retention risk was resolved before it became a negotiation issue.
Child with autism. One chance to respond. PR granted.
Health cost threshold flagged. S57 issued. Full waiver response prepared — medical evidence, financial documentation, compelling reasons submission. Permanent residency granted.
Complex personal migration is not a sideline.
It is half the practice.
Partner visas. S57 responses. Health and character waivers. These cases are difficult, the stakes are real, and the margin for error is zero.
Section 57 Responses
An S57 letter means the Department has found adverse information and is giving you one chance to respond before a final decision is made. A weak or incomplete response leads directly to refusal. We have a 95% positive outcome rate on S57 matters. That is not a lucky streak — it is preparation, evidence architecture, and an understanding of exactly what the decision-maker needs to see.
Get started →Partner Visas
Partner visas take time, require detailed evidence, and carry real consequences if the file is poorly constructed. Behind every application is a relationship. We treat it that way. Full-service and DIY support options are both available, at fixed fees.
Get started →Health & Character Waivers
Most agents decline these cases. We take them. Health waivers, character waivers, PIC 4020 matters — complex evidentiary cases where the quality of the submission is the difference between approval and refusal.

When I first connected with Ieva, I was overwhelmed and feeling hopeless. My case had been mishandled by a previous family lawyer, and I didn’t know where to turn. I reached out to Ieva in an emergency (we hadn’t even met yet), and she responded right away. We spoke on the phone, and she went straight to the point, clearly explaining what I needed to do next, step by step. The following week, we met in person so she could support me during a phone call with immigration regarding a mistake that had left me unlawfully in the country for a few weeks. She resolved each issue one by one with incredible efficiency. With her guidance, I applied for a ministerial intervention — a process that sounded scary and overwhelming at first, but she walked me through every step and made it manageable. She doesn’t waste time, always replies quickly, and is extremely honest and transparent about the situation. Given my previous bad experience, I wanted to be sure I was making the right decision. Before signing the agreement, I shared her proposed plan with Nigel Dobbie (who I’ve heard is one of the best immigration lawyers for cases like mine). Ieva was completely supportive of this, and Nigel confirmed that her approach was exactly what he would have done — everything made sense and was on point. I’m so glad I trusted her. Ieva is talented, empathetic, and highly efficient. She stood by me throughout the entire process and was always there when I needed help. Thanks to her, I’ve just been granted my PR, and I’m incredibly grateful. You can absolutely trust her — I recommend her 100%Posted on SANDRA LOPEZTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m very satisfied with their service! From start to finish, they provided clear guidance, making the entire visa application process stress-free. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely use their services again. Specially thanks to Ieva and Arya.Posted on Isaac KoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am extremely pleased with the service provided by Ieva Vaityte from Immi Response. She responded to our questions promptly and offered valuable feedback on our application. Given my long-term medical condition, I never expected to receive my Partner Visa 820 Grant within just 10 months. Thanks to Ieva’s expertise, my application was strong enough that I didn’t require a health waiver. I highly recommend Immi Response!Posted on Rita BraunTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t recommend Immi Response more as your immigration agent! After a terrible experience with our previous agent, we had to withdraw our PR application and felt completely hopeless. Then we met Ieva. She took our case very seriously, meticulously reorganized everything, and guided us through the process of submitting a new application. Ieva is incredibly organized and professional—we finally felt we were in good hands. And the result? Our PR was granted! We are beyond grateful to Immi Response and highly recommend their services to anyone in need of expert immigration assistance.Posted on Ieva JanusauskaiteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Immi Response were absolutely amazing with helping with my partner visa. We had quite a few complications and set backs including needing to get a health waiver, and then applying for PR on Compassionate grounds. Ieva worked tirelessly to get us the outcome we hoped for. She communicated with me every step of the way, provided excellent and helpful advice, and provided regular updates. If it weren't for all the hard work Ieva put in, I have no doubt that my PR application would have been rejected. Thanks to Ieva my son and I were finally granted PR and are free to live our lives here in Australia with the rest of our family. Ieva I cannot thank you enough, you gave me and my son the greatest gift ever after having to fight for so long and almost losing hope. Thank you so much. Highly recommend this service for any visa issues ⭐Posted on Nicola HannahTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Thanks so much for the people you guys were always doing the best for me to see my grandma ❤️Posted on Rahma MohamedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really clear and efficient service. Made me feel comfortable from the first call. Ieva was very helpful through the whole process and even more impressive with her presentations for the application that played a key part in the approval. If I had done it myself, I wouldn’t have had the same result. Highly recommend to anyone, have already referred friends.Posted on Tennyson Parmiter
