Bridging Visa
Get in touch with us to schedule a consultation today.
We all know that to get the right Australia Visa can be easy and complicated at the same time. Applying for the right Bridging option can be a complex path to follow.
This temporary visa allows you to stay in Australia while you are changing your visa pathway for a new one. We are across the variety of Bridging options, bridging visa costs and application fees; this is the reason why we carefully assess your personal situation in order to choose the right option.
Visas Currently Available:
Bridging Visa A (subclass 010): This type of Visa (BVA) allows you to stay in Australia after your current visa expires and while your substantive application for another visa is being processed. It can be granted if you lodge the application in Australia while you still hold a substantive visa. A BVA does not allow you to return to Australia if you leave.
Bridging Visa B (subclass 020): Application for bridging Visa B (BVB) allows you to leave and return to Australia while your application for a substantive visa is being processed. Provided you return to Australia within the specified travel period, a BVB will then allow you to stay in Australia while your substantive visa application is being processed.
Bridging Visa C (subclass 030): This type of Visa (BVC) allows you to stay in Australia while your application for a substantive visa is being processed. A BVC can be granted if you lodge an application in Australia for a substantive visa but you do not already hold a substantive visa. A BVC does not allow you to return to Australia if you leave.
Bridging visa D (subclass 040 and 041): This type of Visa (BVD) is used in the case your substantive visa has already ended. It lets you stay in Australia lawfully for a short time (no more than 5 working days) until you are able to make a substantive visa application, make arrangements to leave Australia or are granted a Type E (BVE). It does not let you work or re-enter Australia if you leave.
Bridging visa E (subclass 050 and 051): This type of Visa (BVE) is requested for situations where your visa has already ended. It is used for unlawful non-citizens and lets you stay in Australia while you make arrangements to leave, finalize your immigration matter or are waiting for an immigration decision. It does not let you re-enter Australia if you leave.
