About

Who is behind Paper Trail Visas.

What this is

Paper Trail Visas is a preparation toolkit for Australian visa paperwork, organised by route and Application Passport: Ireland 417, UK 417, Canada 417, US 462, Skills in Demand 482, and AHPRA IQRN nurse registration. It exists to answer one question well: of all the Australian immigration paperwork out there, which parts actually apply to you, and what is the next step. It is software and general information, not migration advice.

How we source what we publish

Every fee, age limit, threshold and rule is traced to a primary government source: the Department of Home Affairs, Services Australia, AHPRA, the ATO, the Fair Work Ombudsman, Trades Recognition Australia, Engineers Australia, and the equivalent Irish, UK, Canadian and US bodies. Each claim is attributed inline with the date it was checked, every guide ends with a numbered list of its primary sources, and each guide carries a dated revision history so you can see what changed and when. Rules change at least yearly and sometimes mid-year, so we date everything and link back to the official page. Always verify a number against its primary source before you rely on it.

Not migration advice

Nothing here, including the eligibility check, calculator outputs, toolkit content, the AI assistant, or the guides, is legal or migration advice for any specific person. We are not a migration agent and not a legal practitioner. For application-specific questions, consult a MARA-registered migration agent or an Australian legal practitioner with an unrestricted practising certificate.
