Testimonials

"Admiring support, professionalism and pro-activeness"

On behalf of our Family, we all would like to thank you for your admiring support, professionalism and pro-activeness in achieving our Permanent Visa Status in this Great Country that is Australia

Isac (May 2016)

"What more could one ask for?...."

My wife and I travelled to Australia in 2008 to visit family on the Sunshine coast as we were relocating from Dubai to Cyprus and our container would take 6 weeks to reach Cyprus. On route from Brisbane Airport to the Sunshine Coast we both agreed we wanted to live in Australia. The family we were visiting referred us to Owen Small. Owen explained to us that there was a way for us to obtain a visa and permanent residency and assisted us with the process. Although it was a lengthy process with heaps of paper work Owen was always there to assist and guide us along the way with invaluable advice when required. The 4 year visa was obtained in January 2011 and again when we had to start the process of obtaining permanent residency Owen was at our side assisting us all the way and fighting our case for us – it was unbelievable when he notified us on 14th September this year that we had obtained our residency. We would not have achieved this without the help of Owen – much appreciated. We can highly recommend Owen and his team.

Glenn & Pamela (September 2015)

"Thank you both"

Hi SWM we just wanted to thank you, Ian and I got our citizenship on Australia Day and Kelse got hers today. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts.

Fiona (February 2016)

 "Choices and advice when needed..."

My husband and I wish to nominate an individual who has went beyond our expectations, they were the very first person we spoke to when we were enquiring about your services along with other companies and the reason we asked for your company to represent us.They made us feel at ease, gave us so much information but not too much at the one time, gave choices and advice when needed and put our minds at rest with any struggles we faced. People can be employed to do their job and just do what is required of them, then go home. We feel that this person does not just do this, they have a passion for the job and an excellent communication manner. No amount of phone calls or emails from ourselves, stops this person from still giving us 100%. We would never have believed in January 2007 that we would have come this far. We just want to say to Owen Small "thank you and keep up the brilliant work, you are a credit to the emigration industry". Many thanks

"Professional, expedient and with a great attention to detail..."

SWM assisted with obtaining my 457 working visa at quite a difficult time and with some additional factors that needed to be addressed which made the application somewhat complicated. Throughout the process he was professional, expedient and with a great attention to detail. The visa was granted within 10 days of lodging. My mind was put at ease throughout the process and I would strongly recommend him without reservation to handle any migration/visa issues that anyone may have. I will be instructing him again when I am applying for my PR.

Daryl (June 2014)

 "Everything was handled with great care and professionalism..."

I turned to Small World Migration after I felt my Second Working Holiday Visa in Australia was unfairly rejected. The support and guidance I received throughout the appeal process was excellent - Everything was handled with great care and professionalism, and the submission SWM wrote was top-notch! In the end, my visa decision got overturned and I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend!

Anna (October 2015)

"Very thankful for your immigration services"

What a fantastic experience. I did not expect my permanent residency to come through so quickly, you were so efficient and thorough, on top of the game from start to finish. Would definitely recommend small world migration to anyone who needs a visa. Thanks again.

Amandeep (July 2015)

"Throughout my process I experienced excellent communication, genuine advice and helpful suggestions."

Best agents ever, I've just got my permanent residency through SWM. Throughout my process I experienced excellent communication, genuine advice and helpful suggestions. I can't really thank them enough and no doubt I do recommend them to anyone who needs a visa.

Leo (July 2015)

"Went above and beyond the call of duty and was compassionate in our time of urgent need"

The Nokes and Confos family strongly recommend the amazing works of SWM and Small World Migration. If it wasn’t for SWM and everything they did regarding our son/brothers immigration process we wouldn’t have been able to get him back in the country and on his way to rehabilitation. This wasn’t your usual immigration process and we were previous stuffed around by another company, but SWM stuck to their word on price, they went above and beyond the call of duty and were compassionate in our time of urgent need, SWM was a God send.

Lauren (September 2015)

"You have been extremely supportive and appreciate your patience"

Thank you for all you have done. It really means a lot for us!! You have been extremely supportive and appreicate your patience and kindness in answering even the silliest questions that I have asked.... You are the best!!!

Vijay & Shrisha (November 2015)

"The process was extraordinarily quick and I received a positive outcome within weeks - just fantastic!"

I believe my visa grant success was undoubtedly attributed to the fact that I had an expert in this field who was committed in giving genuine advice and very helpful and precise guidance which culminated in a very strong visa application and I can't stress enough how essential it is to have an immigration agent such as yourself to streamline and strengthen the application. The process was extraordinarily quick and I received a positive outcome within weeks - just fantastic! I'm deeply grateful as it opens up possibilities for me for a future in Australia that I had almost given up hope for. Many, many thanks,

Steve (October 2015)

Thankyou Owen! 

We appreciate your help, professionalism and incredibly thorough work ethic. You and your team are just awesome!
