Client experiences

What clients say

Employer sponsored 482

Sumit's team rebuilt a file that had already been refused once. Second time it was approved without a single further request.
Sponsor, hospitality groupSponsor, hospitality groupMelbourne

Student visa 500

They shortlisted courses on where my daughter would end up in five years, not on which university pays the biggest commission.
Parent of a student in AustraliaParent of a student in AustraliaLudhiana

Business setup

We got the Australian entity and the structure right before the visa was lodged, not after. That saved us a year.
Founder, engineering servicesFounder, engineering servicesSydney / Gurugram

Skilled migration 190

My points were borderline. They mapped a state nomination route, timed the EOI, and the 190 invitation came through.
IT professionalIT professionalPune

Partner 820/801

Partner visa paperwork was overwhelming until we had a checklist that actually matched the evidence they ask for.

NRI & cross-border tax

As an NRI, I finally understood my residency position, the DTAA relief and how to repatriate sale proceeds cleanly.
NRI investorNRI investorDubai / Mumbai

Business setup abroad

The UAE free-zone entity, the bank account and the residency visa were sequenced in the right order. Nothing had to be redone.

Cross-border tax advisory

Two accountants had given us opposite answers on our India–Australia structure. Kompass explained the position and documented it properly.
