GENERAL & ACCEPTANCE

This website is owned and operated by MYVISA. In these Terms and Conditions, MYVISA will be referred to as "we", "our", "us" and the user of the website will be referred to as "You".

Use of the Questionnaire automatically indicates your acceptance of these terms and conditions. The Questionnaire forms part of MYVISA’s website and by accessing the Questionnaire you agree to be bound by any terms and conditions of our website that may be current at the time of access, including the contents of our Privacy Statement. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions, then you may not use our website or Questionnaire.

We may amend these terms and conditions at our discretion and without notice by posting any amended terms and conditions on our website. The current terms and conditions will be available on our website at all times. By continuing to use the Questionnaire you accept and agree to be bound by the current terms and conditions.

The use of this Questionnaire is for the purpose of collecting basic information so as to enable us the opportunity to perform a preliminary assessment of your situation. By completing this Questionnaire, you accept that any information or assistance we provide to you does not take into account all eligibility requirements. Furthermore, you accept that completing this Questionnaire does not in any way guarantee grant of a sponsorship, nomination, visa or other migration outcome. A positive result from an eligibility assessment of the Questionnaire does not guarantee a positive final migration outcome.

This Questionnaire is not an application form.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

The Questionnaire is to be used by you to provide us with information about your circumstances and any relevant documentation to enable us an opportunity to consider assessing your situation and, where we deem appropriate, provide you with an assessment of your migration options.

SCOPE OF WHAT WE WILL DO

By using this Questionnaire, you are providing us with a non-compellable invitation to review the information you have provided and, at our complete discretion, perform an initial assessment of your eligibility to seek a migration outcome.

Using or submitting the Questionnaire does not make you our client. If we agree to perform an initial assessment for you, we will contact you in writing to confirm your instructions.

The scope of any work which we may elect to perform as a result of you submitting a completed Questionnaire is limited to performing an assessment, including performing any enquiries (including with third parties) that we deem necessary.
