Bridging Visa
Bridging visa allows you to stay in Australia after your current substantive visa ceases and
while your new substantive visa application is being processed. The bridging visa will come
into effect when your current substantive visa ceases. However, a separate application for a
Bridging Visa is necessary when you have applied for juridical review.

You might be allowed to work in Australia depending on the visa conditions. Your grant letter
will tell you about these conditions. If your Bridging Visa does not let you work, or has
restrictions on working, you can apply for another Bridging Visa that lets you work. To be
considered for a Bridging Visa that lets you work, you will usually have to demonstrate that
you are in financial hardship.
A Bridging Visa will end immediately if you leave Australia while your Bridging Visa is in
effect. The Bridging Visa will also end if you are granted the substantive visa you applied for
as well as you are granted another Bridging visa.
Bridging visa B (BVB) allows you to leave and return to Australia within the defined travel
period while your application for a substantive visa is being processed. The BVB travel
facility may be granted with single or multiple travel. If the travel facility has ended or does
not have sufficient validity remaining to cover your proposed journey, then you will need to
apply for and be granted a new BVB prior to leaving Australia.
To be eligible to apply for BVB, you must be in Australia when you apply for this visa. You
must have held a substantive visa and be the holder of a BVA or a BVB. A BVB comes into
effect when your current substantive visa ceases.
In the first free consultation, after checking your visa status and conditions, we will
recommend you whether you are eligible to apply for a visa. For your successful visa
application, based on our knowledge and experience in applying for a visa, we will fill out
your visa application and prepare additional documents. After your visa grant, we will let
you know the decision from the department of immigration. If your visa has been refused,
contact us. We will help you to apply for ART.
