Why Students from Chitwan, Pokhara, and Kathmandu Trust Right & Associates

1. MARA-Registered Migration Experts You Can Trust

We are proud to have MARA-registered migration agents on our team. The Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) is Australia's official regulatory body ensuring that only qualified, ethical professionals provide migration advice. This means when you work with Right & Associates, you're working with government-approved experts who follow the highest standards of professionalism and integrity.​

Our Canberra office operates under Right & Associates Canberra Pty Ltd, with registered agents whose most recent registration commenced on 28/11/2024. This official registration gives you peace of mind that your visa application is in expert hands.​

2. Specialized Support for Australian Visa Pathways

Whether you're a prospective student or a skilled professional, we provide expert guidance for multiple Australian visa pathways:​

Student Visas: Complete support from GTE (Genuine Temporary Entrant) preparation to visa lodgment​

Temporary Skill Shortage (482) Visa: For skilled workers sponsored by Australian employers, lasting up to 4 years​

Employer Nomination Scheme (186) Visa: Transition from 482 to permanent residency after working for your sponsor for at least 2 years​

Skilled Nominated (190) Visa: State-sponsored permanent visa for skilled workers with 65+ points​

Skilled Work Regional (491) Visa: Regional provisional visa offering a 5-year pathway to permanent residency​

Our team understands the Canberra Matrix points system and can help maximize your nomination chances for ACT (Australian Capital Territory) skilled migration. In the September 2025 invitation round, the ACT invited 476 Canberra residents and 83 overseas applicants, with minimum matrix scores ranging from 110-115 depending on the pathway.​

3. Addressing Your Biggest Fears: Visa Refusal Prevention

Visa refusal is every international student's nightmare. Recent data shows that Australian student visa approval rates dropped to around 81% in the six months to December 2023—the lowest rate since 2005-06. Common reasons for refusal include:​

  • Incomplete or inaccurate documentation: Even minor errors can lead to rejection
  • Insufficient financial evidence: Inability to prove you can cover tuition and living costs
  • Poor GTE statements: Generic or unconvincing genuine temporary entrant statements
  • Course irrelevance: Chosen course doesn't align with previous qualifications or career goals
  • English proficiency issues: Failing to meet IELTS/PTE requirements
  • Previous visa breaches or refusals: Immigration history matters
