About Mates International Pokhara
Mates International Education & Visa Services is an Australia-specialist consultancy headquartered in Brisbane (est. 2007), with Nepal offices in Kathmandu (Putalisadak) and Pokhara (Talchowk). The Brisbane entity holds MARA registration — meaning its agents are legally accountable for Australian migration advice under the Migration Act — while Nepal-based counsellors hold QEAC (PIER Online) and ITAC (ICEF) credentials. The broader network has served 100,000+ clients across Australia, the Philippines, and Nepal.
In Nepal, Mates International focuses exclusively on Australian university admissions and student visa (Subclass 500) applications. The Kathmandu team guides students through course selection, GTE (Genuine Temporary Entrant) statement preparation, financial documentation, and the full visa lodgement process. Because Brisbane is the head office rather than a separate post-arrival team, Mates International provides direct continuity from pre-departure counselling in Nepal through to visa management in Australia.

Frequently asked questions
The bottom line
If Australia is the only target destination, Mates International offers one of the most credential-dense options in Nepal: MARA-registered head office, dual-certified Nepal counsellors, and a genuine network track record. The caveat on the Mates Edu branding confusion is worth clarifying before you begin.
