Bridging Visas

Bridging visas permit the holders to remain in Australia legally pending the time their immigration situation is being determined. Waiting to find out the outcome of a substantive visa application; appealing against the refusal of a visa; or getting ready to leave Australia, a bridging visa is useful in keeping you under lawful status during the “bridge” period.

The Bridging Visas vary in number and each of them is intended in different circumstances:

• Bridging Visa A (BVA) – Subclass 010: Presented to those who apply to a new visa when one holds an existing (Substantive) visa. It enables them to remain in Australia as they wait to be issued with a new visa.
  
  
• Bridging Visa B (BVB) – Subclass 020: Similar to the BVA yet it contains rights to travel, thus permit the holder to travel outside Australia and come back to the Australia in the course of application processing.
  
  
• Bridging Visa C (BVC) -Subclass 030: Visa offer to applicants who have applied to make a new visa after the expiry of his former visa or while being on BVA you lodge another substantive visa application.
  
  
• Bridging Visa D (BVD) -Subclass 040,041: Bridging visa D applies to those whose visa has expired, and they are preparing to regularise their stay or leave.
  
  
• Bridging Visa E (BVE) 050/051: This visa can be used to enable persons to stay legally in Australia so that they may make plans to leave Australia or sort out immigration concerns.
