Many agencies advertise Australian migration to Nigerians. The lawful routes are the same as for other nationalities, and the quality of your adviser matters most.
Routes to consider
| Route | Basis |
|---|---|
| Skilled migration | Points test and skills assessment |
| Employer sponsored | Job offer from approved employer |
| Student visa | Study at a registered course |
| Family | Relationship with a citizen or resident |
Choosing an agent
- Confirm registration with OMARA on its official register.
- Ask for a written fee agreement.
- Be careful of anyone who promises success.
Red flags and scams
- Anyone who asks you to pay for a job offer, a permit or a “guaranteed” visa.
- Adverts with very high pay for beginners, or with no interview.
- Contact only by WhatsApp, Telegram or a free email address, with no company website or address.
- Look-alike government sites. Use only the official government website for the country.
If you think you have been targeted, stop paying, keep every message and receipt, and report it to Scamwatch and the Nigerian authorities. You can also email us at admin@jobsbroads.com.
