I would like to express my gratitude and emphasize the high level of professionalism of SmartVistos, Dr. Marcelo, and his secretary Edijane for all the support, partnership, and problem-solving skills during the visa application process. At all times, they remained available for clarifications, guidance, and close monitoring, efficiently conducting each step until the issuance was completed. Here is my recognition and recommendation: I do not know of any company with such consistent and reliable support as SmartVistos and Dr. Marcelo for those seeking an Australian visa.
I want to express my gratitude to agents Marcelo and Edjane from Smart Vistos for all the support and dedication during my immigration process to Australia. Obtaining my PR through the 190 visa was a dream come true, and none of it would have been possible without their help and guidance. I heard people talking about the process and thought it would be super complicated, but Marcelo was extremely attentive, clear in all his explanations, and always available to answer questions. Each step was conducted with professionalism and care, which gave me the confidence that I was on the right track. I only worried about obtaining the necessary IELTS score; beyond that, Smart Vistos took care of everything. Forget bloggers, mentors, and course sellers with no experience in the subject. I wholeheartedly recommend Marcelo and Smart Vistos to anyone wishing to immigrate to Australia. Their experience, knowledge, and transparency made all the difference in getting my visa approved.
We started our process with Marcelo and Smart Vistos in 2018, and this week he gave us the wonderful news of the issuance of our PR. From the beginning, Marcelo always helped us find the best way to immigrate to Australia (Skilled Visa). He helped us get my education and professional experience recognized by Australia, under the 489 visa (going through the difficulties of COVID and border closures), and finally with Permanent Residency. If you are looking to immigrate to Australia, Marcelo and Smart Vistos will certainly help you with everything you need. Highly recommended.
Smart Visto is not just another immigration agency, it's THE agency! Marcelo literally saved our lives here in Australia. We were completely hopeless. After 8 years here in Australia, we reached a point where in 6 months we would have to leave the country and return to Brazil. We had exhausted all our options. Through my brother's recommendation, we found Smart Visto. Marcelo spent several months studying our case and discovered a way for us to obtain our long-awaited Australian residency. Thank you so much, Marcelo. Words cannot describe all your dedication, attention, and commitment. In a world where people no longer care about each other, you made a difference. Thank you so much, Smart Vistos, and your entire team, Renato and Rejane.
I met Marcelo in 2017 when I was still trying to better understand how the Skilled Visa process worked and whether I would be eligible. From the beginning, he was extremely clear, transparent, and professional. Over the years, he always kept me informed about crucial points, such as diploma recognition renewal deadlines and changes in Australian government rules that could impact my process. Even with the challenges of the pandemic, Marcelo remained present and attentive, updating me on possible paths and keeping the process active. What I admire most about his work is the honesty and realism with which he approaches each step—no false promises, but always with solid strategies and accurate guidance. Thanks to this careful follow-up, I obtained my long-awaited permanent residency (subclass 189) and will soon be moving to Australia. I am very happy and grateful to have had such a competent and reliable immigration agent who brought me peace of mind throughout the entire journey. I recommend him without hesitation!
Hiring Marelo - Smart Vistos - was undoubtedly one of the best decisions in my immigration journey. From the first contact until the approval of my Subclass 491 – Subsequent Entrant visa, Marcelo demonstrated full technical expertise, attention to detail, and, above all, empathy for my family’s situation. During moments of great anxiety and uncertainty, he was always available, clear in his explanations, and precise in his guidance. The quick response to immigration requirements and careful handling of documentation made all the difference in the progress of the process. I am deeply grateful for the professionalism and commitment of the Smart Vistos team. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone facing the challenging (and emotional) path of Australian immigration. Thank you very much for everything! Anderson Hauck Adelaide, SA – June 2025

Marcelo Fukuoka has been our immigration agent since the beginning of our journey in Australia, and we are immensely grateful for all the professionalism, dedication, and support he has offered us throughout each stage of the process. From our student visa, through the COVID-19 period, to obtaining our 482 work visa, Marcelo has always guided us with clarity, attention, and great responsibility. His ability to explain complex details in an accessible way made all the difference, bringing peace of mind and confidence to my wife and me at crucial moments. In addition to being extremely competent, Marcelo is a person who truly cares about his clients. We have already recommended him to several people and will continue to do so, as we believe that professionals like him deserve recognition. Thank you very much, Marcelo, for being part of our story and for being such an exemplary professional.
