MAP Education & Visa

A decade of guiding
journeys to Australia.

We're a Sydney-based education & migration consultancy founded in 2015 by a MARA-registered migration agent. Since then, we've helped hundreds of students and skilled professionals turn an Australian dream into a signed visa grant.

Our Story

Built around one simple idea — students deserve better.

MAP Education & Visa Services began in 2015 with a small office, a single migration agent, and a stubborn belief that studying abroad shouldn't feel like a paperwork nightmare. Our founder, Rohit Gahlawat, had watched too many bright students get lost in misinformation, miss-sold courses, and rejected visa applications that never should have been filed.

So we built something different. End-to-end. Free counselling. Transparent fees. A licensed MARA agent on every visa file. From the first conversation about your career goals to your first week settling into a Sydney apartment — we hand-hold the entire journey.

“Studying abroad is the change of yourself, your passion, and an adventure of a lifetime. Our job is to make sure paperwork isn't the part you remember.”

A decade later we're headquartered in Parramatta with a team of admission specialists, counsellors and a registered migration agent — partnering with 40+ Australian universities and vocational providers across every state.

What we stand for

Three principles, zero compromise.

Every counselling call, every shortlisted course, every lodged application — measured against the same three commitments.

01

Our Mission

To make Australian education and migration accessible, transparent and ethical — by giving every student the same expert guidance, regardless of budget or background.

02

Our Vision

To be Australia's most trusted independent education and migration consultancy — known not for our size, but for the lifelong careers our students go on to build.

03

Our Values

Honesty over commission. Long-term outcomes over quick placements. Personal accountability on every visa file — because behind every application is a family's life decision.

A word from the founder

“The right guidance can change a life.”

We, the people who belong to MAP Education & Visa Services, strive to provide a safe and happy journey abroad to all those who entrust their futures to us.

Our experienced personnel understand the struggle of settling alone in a foreign land. We exist to prevent our students from experiencing the same — by acting as their guides and putting their convenience as our priority.

Your passionate dreams inspire us to work hard, to deliver excellent services, and to protect the security of your future.
