Client Testimonials
Working with MSA Immigration Australia (particularly Christmarie) has been such a delightful experience. The quality of service they provided exceeded my needs and expectations. They are authentic with what they do, honest with what they say, and organised with how they work. They are meticulous, structured, well-informed, and really down-to-earth. You wouldn’t feel intimidated to be working with them. I am so grateful for the work they have done for me
MSA IMMIGRATION has been very helpful to me. My agent, Christmarie Tentia had been guiding me along the process especially since I’ve been extremely busy with work handovers, and she’s been very patient in answering all my questions. Despite the short timeline that we have, they worked efficiently and effectively to ensure that all my documents are complete. They made me feel confident and secure that all documents will go through with the way they work with me and the depth of their knowledge in this kind of visa processing. I am glad and thankful for MSA Immigration, especially for my agent who helped me through this stressful process and assisted me in receiving my student visa in a very quick turnaround. I highly recommend MSA Immigration.
I was super amazed on how quickly MSA Immigration processed my visa application. I am very grateful for their hands-on approach in the processing of my visa and they were really helpful, approachable, and transparent throughout. I am very thankful to Ms. Reyna and Ms. Marie and the whole team of MSA Immigration and I highly recommend them!
Thank you very much for all your help last year.
You were instrumental in advancing my Australian PR application & taking it to a progress more than I ever did on my own!
May you continue to remain inspired in helping other people fulfil their aspiration of building a life in Aus.
My husband and I could not have been any more blessed than to have had MSA Immigration Australia help us out on our journey when we decided to migrate to Australia. Having Christmarie from MSA at the very beginning allowed us to go through the whole visa process with ease. Her enthusiasm and attention to details were second to none.
We love that MSA has efficient, helpful, patient and knowledgeable consultants.
The visa of my mother was granted so fast, thank you Christmarie and MSA Immigration Australia. Highly recommended. 5 Stars!
