Who we are
Sumit Kumar
Founder–CEO
Registered Migration Agent (MARN 1803385)
Chartered Accountant
Australian citizen since 2010 · Skilled migrant since 2005
Sumit migrated from India to Melbourne as a skilled migrant in 2005 and became an Australian citizen in 2010. Having rebuilt a career and a life in a new country himself, he understands first-hand what migrants and international students go through — not just the paperwork and the waiting, but the job search, the loneliness and the pressure of starting over far from home.
Kompass Global Advisory is built on 25+ years of professional experience across immigration, overseas education, business, finance and international tax.
We work with individuals, families and businesses planning to move, study, invest or expand across borders.
By bringing these areas together, we help clients see the bigger picture — and make better-informed international decisions.

What clients say
Employer sponsored 482
Sumit's team rebuilt a file that had already been refused once. Second time it was approved without a single further request.
Sponsor, hospitality groupMelbourneStudent visa 500
They shortlisted courses on where my daughter would end up in five years, not on which university pays the biggest commission.
Parent of a student in AustraliaLudhianaBusiness setup
We got the Australian entity and the structure right before the visa was lodged, not after. That saved us a year.
Founder, engineering servicesSydney / GurugramSkilled migration 190
My points were borderline. They mapped a state nomination route, timed the EOI, and the 190 invitation came through.
IT professionalPunePartner 820/801
Partner visa paperwork was overwhelming until we had a checklist that actually matched the evidence they ask for.
Partner visa applicantMumbaiNRI & cross-border tax
As an NRI, I finally understood my residency position, the DTAA relief and how to repatriate sale proceeds cleanly.
NRI investorDubai / MumbaiBusiness setup abroad
The UAE free-zone entity, the bank account and the residency visa were sequenced in the right order. Nothing had to be redone.
Director, trading companyDubai / MumbaiCross-border tax advisory
Two accountants had given us opposite answers on our India–Australia structure. Kompass explained the position and documented it properly.
CFO, technology servicesSydney / BengaluruInvesting abroad
We were shown three investment routes with the real timelines and costs, including the ones they advised us against.
Private investorDelhiCanada study permit
My study permit file was assembled once, properly — funds, attestation letter and statement of purpose all lined up.
