The world\u2019s largest agent, IDP Education<\/a>, has partnered with Bravo Migration<\/a>, an Australian-based migration services organisation, to provide approved visa support for international students and migrants navigating an increasingly complex visa environment.<\/p>\n

The partnership will see a dedicated team of Bravo registered migration agents based within IDP Australia\u2019s student placement offices across Australia.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes amid heightened scrutiny of onshore international student applications in Australia, with the government closely monitoring applications that appear to be just extending a stay without genuine academic progression.<\/p>\n

Onshore visa support in Australia must be delivered by registered migration agents, with not all students requiring a new visa. As commission for onshore applications is a banned practice, visa support is a chargeable service rather than being linked to a university commission contract. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking about the new partnership, Jane Li, regional operations director for IDP Australasia, said \u201cwe selected Bravo to be our official partner as they have a proven track record of delivering quality services for their customers that meet the highest standards of compliance and trust\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership means IDP\u2019s team of expert counsellors can focus on providing course advice for our customers, while knowing there are registered migration agents on site for those who have more specific visa queries,\u201d continued Li.<\/p>\n

IDP has suffered a brutal 90% decline in its share price over the last five years due to restrictive immigration policies for international students, imposed in Australia, Canada, US and UK. This has led to the loss of jobs and a restructuring of the global business.<\/p>\n

While the company previously employed its own registered migration agents, it is understood that it will now be replaced by Bravo counsellors from the July 1 2026 in all Australian IDP student placement offices.<\/p>\n

Erica Carneiro, co-founder and director of Bravo Migration, spoke to The PIE, saying: \u201cWe are incredibly proud to partner with IDP Australia in this next chapter. International students need more than general migration and visa information \u2014 they need clear, specialist advice delivered by experienced professionals who understand both the law and the practical realities of planning a future in Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership allows us to provide that support at scale, while working alongside one of the most recognised names in international education,\u201d Carneiro said.<\/p>\n
