Bridging visas are some of the most complex visas out there. It is not because they are difficult to apply for, but because of how they operate. Understanding how each one relates to another will depend on your situation.
In most situations you can get a bridging visa if you are applying for a valid substantive visa whilst you are in Australia. This is because the bridging visa is attached to an actual application. The only instance where you can apply directly for a type of bridging visa is if you are the holder of a current bridging visa (that is in effect) or if you do not hold a visa at all (and you are seeking to become lawful).
To help you understand Australian bridging visas, here are the top 3 things to remember:
- Bridging visas are coded alphabetically A,B, C, D, E, etc.
- You can only progress forward along the alphabet, e.g. A to B, or C to E and so on, however once you have passed a lettered bridging visa, you cannot go backwards in the alphabet to a previous lettered bridging visa.
- Bridging visas are not indefinite, as some believe them to be – they have a finite period of validity and they also have visa conditions, just like substantive (normal) visas, so you have to be aware of when they expire and the conditions you must abide by.
Below is a list of the most common bridging visas. See which one best applies to your situation.
BRIDGING VISA A
- Bridging Visa A is the most common bridging visa because this is “automatically” granted when you apply for another substantive visa whilst you are in Australia (onshore).
- Bridging Visa A’s are granted as an operation of law. This means that you cannot apply for it directly. It has to be attached to a valid visa application in Australia. The Bridging Visa A helps to keep you lawful in Australia in case Immigration processes your new visa application beyond the expiration date of your current visa.
- The Bridging Visa A only comes into effect once your current substantive visa expires.
- The Bridging Visa A keeps you lawful for exactly 28 days after a decision has been made on your new application. Should your new application be refused, the Bridging Visa A will still be in effect until 28 days after the refusal of your application.
- Bridging Visa A’s inherits the same visa conditions as your previous visa (with some exceptions, depending on what kind of visa you are applying for), so you have to continue to abide by your visa conditions whilst on your Bridging Visa A.
- Bridging Visa A’s do not come with “permission to travel“. This means that you cannot re-enter Australia on a Bridging Visa A if you happen to leave Australia. If you happen to leave Australia on a Bridging Visa A, it will automatically be voided when you depart and you will not be permitted to return to Australia without holding a new valid substantive visa (which you will need to apply for in order to re-enter Australia). On the same note, if you travel on your currently valid visa, your Bridging Visa A (though granted, but not in effect yet) is also automatically voided without any notification.
- If your current visa is still valid, whilst waiting for your new visa application to be finalized, then you can travel, but you must come back before your valid visa expires. You can then apply for the reinstatement of the Bridging Visa A.
BRIDGING VISA B
- Simply put, this is a “travel” bridging visa. If you are currently on a Bridging Visa A and you wish to travel, you can apply for a Bridging Visa B. This will give you a permit to re-enter Australia after leaving temporarily (usually within 3 months).
- If your previous visa is still valid and your Bridging Visa A has not come into effect yet, then you are not eligible to apply for a Bridging Visa B.
BRIDGING VISA C
- A Bridging Visa C is granted to a person who is applying for a valid substantive visa, but is not a holder of a current substantive visa.
- In situations where you do not have a substantive visa at the time of applying for a new visa, you must seek professional advice to make sure that you can meet any special criteria for the new visa you intend on applying for.
- A Bridging Visa C operates in the same way as a Bridging Visa A, meaning there is no permission to travel. Unlike Bridging Visa A, you cannot apply for a Bridging Visa B once you have a Bridging Visa C (refer to Number 2 of Top 3 Things to Remember above). Technically you can leave the country, but you will not be permitted to return to Australia.
- If you accidentally leave the country on a Bridging Visa C, you may be subject to a 3-Year Exclusion Period where you cannot apply for any temporary visas to return to Australia.
BRIDGING VISA E
- A Bridging Visa E is similar to a Bridging Visa C in the sense that it applies to situations where you are not the holder of a substantive visa (or any visa at all) at the time of applying for a specific visa.
- A Bridging Visa E can be associative, meaning it is attached to specific matter (such as a visa application, or a Migration Review Tribunal application, or a Ministerial application, etc.).
- A Bridging Visa E can also be applied for directly, if you simply want to legalize your status prior to departing Australia or seeking advice towards your next visa application (if possible).
- Bridging Visa E’s come with plethora of visa conditions attached to it that may limit your ability to study, work, and travel. It also comes with stringent procedures in relation to the expiration date of the visa, which enables Immigration to closely monitor how you are going with your arrangements to depart the country, or to lodge a valid application (with Immigration, the MRT, the Minister’s Office, or to the courts).
Every person’s situation is different and your situation may require a more strategic approach, especially if you are unlawful. It is very important to know all your possible options, and make an educated decision about how you wish to resolve your situation. Seek help if you need it. A professional’s advice may be all it takes to secure your future and your family’s future.
Hi there,
I got student visa refused since August 2017. I’ve just attended the hearing on early in March 2019. However my COE will end on 14 April 2019. I’m just wondering if I don’t get the AAT decision by the end of my course. What should I do? Can I still stay lawfully to wait for the AAT decision after I finish my course or I need to leave the country and how lond I can stay after my course complete?

Hi experts,
I submitted my 485 visa application on 10 Jan 2019, and am currently offshore while waiting for the result. My current student visa will expire on 15 Mar 2019, and as I would need to be offshore due to family matters for a period, I’m planning to fly back onshore to apply a bridging visa B for travel.
I understand that my bridging visa A was voided as I left Australia during the application, so I would like to know if my understanding is correct:
After arriving Australia,
1) I need to apply for reinstatement of BVA before 15 Mar.
2) I need to apply for BVB after 15 Mar.
In order to minimize my duration of stay in Australia, do you think it is possible to complete these process on 14-16 Mar? (Can stay in AU until 20th to wait for BVB to be granted). Would the weekends increase the processing time for BVB?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Steve,

My current WHV expires 12th February 2019. I have submitted a 461 visa application on the 1st February but without evidence of payment (we did this online after) so we called immigration who told us there was no way to link the payment to the paper application. We then re-submitted forms 5th February via express overnight post. How long does it take for a bridging visa to be applied as I’m worried now the second submission may go over my WHV date? Immigration should receive the documents today (6th February) do they instantly apply bridging visa or does this take a couple of days?

Hi, I’m holding a prospective marriage visa, to be expired on 2/4/2019. We are preparing to lodge the partner visa 820/801 in coming weeks. We intend to fly out from Australia on 1/5/2019. I’m just wondering whether I can apply for Bridging visa B after I lodge my partner visa 820/801? Or do I have to wait until my current visa expired and bridging visa A kicks in? If so, will it be in time for me to apply after 2/4/2019 and get the approval before I fly out? Thanks a lot

Hello Sir,
I have just finished my course in University. I am planning to apply visa 485. However, my student visa will finish on 31 Jan 2019. I prepared documents for visa 485, but I still have not had IELTs yet. I need more time to do IELTs test and I registered to do test on 10 Feb 2019.
Please, could you tell me about my case? Do I need to apply bridging visa for living 28 days in Australia to have enough time to complete IELTs test? What is the best bridging visa for me? Thank you so much.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi. My partner has applied for a BVB after his BVA came into effect 18th Jan 2019. We are supposed to travel to NZ 25th Jan but DIBP have not even notified us that his BVB application has been received. I’ve called DIBP who confirmed they have not started to process the paper BVB application. What are my partners options now? Because of the fact that we had to wait until his BVA came into effect before we could even apply for the BVB it has left a very small window to get the BVB application in.

Hi there,
I am currently on visa subclass 476 (which will expire very soon on 2018, Dec 03) and have applied for student visa (subclass 500), when I was offshore on a holiday about 9 months ago and because it has not been issued yet, I am worried about it. On the other hand, since I applied from overseas (offshore), I have not received my automatic Bridging Visa A.
Since I am now back to Australia (onshore), do you have any idea about when my student visa OR even Bridging Visa will be issued?
I was also wondering if I withdraw my application and reapply for student visa (as I am onshore now), do I have any chance to get bridging visa for not leaving Australia?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I applied for my temporary / graduate visa last month and was granted bridging visa A. This month I got my PR invitation. When applying for my PR, it said that I have unfinalised applications and must withdraw my TR application. Do I need to apply for another visa i.e bridging visa C so I can remain in Australia lawfully? or do I automatically get granted a BV?
Really confused. Please let me know what step I should take.

Hello,
By February 2019 I will have 90 points for 489 (Family Sponsored) (80 points + 10 points).
My uncle is a citizen for more than a decade and he is living/working full time in Melbourne.
I thought I would definitely get an invite for sure for 489 FS, however, some people told me that It’s almost impossible because for pro rata occupations all 189 EOI’s at all point levels have to be invited before a 489 (FS) invitation can be issued.
This means all Accountants at 65, 70, 75, and 80+ points would have to be invited before I would have a chance at getting a 489 (FS) invite. That is not going to happen in the foreseeable future.
Is this true?
I thought it just means that if I have 90 points for 489 and someone else has 90 points for 189 then that person will get the invite first before I do.
It doesnt make sense for someone with 90 points for 489 to wait for everyone even 65 points for 189 to get an invite first.
If that is the case, then what is the point of 489 anywayz? There are still 10 points getting 489 monthly meaning in a year there would be around 120, I am pretty sure most of them would have pro-rata occupations anyway?
Many thanks

Hi there, hope you’re well.
I have a query on 485 visa and hoping that you could help!
I am currently holding a 485 (Post-Study Work) visa and it is expiring on Feb 20th 2019. I am also currently working full time and my company is willing to sponsor me after my visa expires. However the issue is, I will only have 23 months of experience by Feb 2019 where I need 24 months of experience to be eligible for a sponsorship visa. Hence, I am just exploring options where I can extend my current visa (or even get a bridging visa) for a month or two to allow me to complete 24 months of work experience, so that the company is able to sponsor me.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hello,
I am currently on 485 which expires September 15 2019.
By February 2019 I will have 80 points for 189 for Accountant. Will there be any chance I receive an invite before my 485 expires?
If not. should I still use the 28 grace day period and continue working fulltime after my 485 visa expires?
Or should I apply for a student visa 2-3 months before my 485 expiry date and wait for my 189 invitation?
I just dont want to stop working or work part time because my 189 invite is after September 15 2019 or something.

Meanwhile, I am planning to change employer but my new employer is offering a job based on my working rights (not sponsoring).
So, in case I resign which means in 60 days my 457 will cancel (not expire) and if I didn’t get my 189 visa, then request your advice that can I apply for any bridging visa with working rights to get new job or any other possible action please.

Hi there
I need some advice. I’m currently on a working holiday visa and I have put in an expression of interest (EOI) re applying for an independent skilled visa under early childhood teacher. When I put in the EOI, it said that it could take up to 2 years to be invited to apply. Say it gets to Christmas (when my working holiday visa runs out) is there a bridging visa that will enable me to stay in the country whilst I wait for a potential invitation. Or, will I have to go home until I receive an invite?
Many thanks

Hello,
I finished Master of Finance from University of Tasmania this month and I’m waiting for my results on 11th July. I’m planning to apply for EOI and nomination for 489 visa once I get the completion letter from University. But my student visa is expiring on 30th august, 2018. So I don’t know how do I schedule my visa procedure. If I don’t get invitation before my visa expires then do I need to go back to my country and apply for skilled visa from there? Because the condition says that you’re required to live currently in Tasmania. How do I fill the gap between my visa and invitation. Can I apply for visitor visa after applying for nomination and stay in Australia until I get the invitation to apply for visa? And if I can then how does it work and what if I don’t get approval of visitor visa before the expiration of my current 500 visa. I’ve previously applied for 485 so that option is not available for me.
Could you please guide me in this matter as soon as possible? I will highly appreciate your help and consideration.
Thank you

My mother who was on contributory parent visa for 2 years, her visa has expired. The part 2 of the visa has been cancelled as it expired more than a year ago. My brother who was contact person did not take this into account as in lodging in time as he was going through a divorce court case. My mother is 73 years old now and if she has to go back then I believe we won’t be able to see her anymore.

Hi Team,
I am currently working on 457 visa and My wife is also having 457 ( dependent visa) and both of us are in Australia. Recently I applied for 190 Victoria state sponsorship and got our Bridging A (class WA) visa’s.
Below is mentioned in the bridge visa.
Permission to work
When your bridging visa (class WA) is in effect, you will have full permission to work.
Now my query is whether my wife can work in Australia with the bridge visa. Also our 457 visa’s are valid for another 2 years.
Please help me with my queries.

Hi,
My name is Tata. Currently I am in student visa (500) which nearly expires by 15 March 2017. At the moment, I’m still trying to apply for Post Study Visa (485).

Hi I just have an inquiry, I am currently in a student visa however it will be expiring soon on the first week of March, The original plan was to apply for visa 485, but would not be possible at the moment since I have exceeded the 6 months timeline to apply. So have then decided just a few days ago to go home to my home country. My question is that, because the decision to go home is a little bit late and I have a few obligations to fulfill such as paying off bills, would it be possible to apply for a bridging visa to be able to extend my stay here for a few more weeks legally whilst I settle and arrange my commitments here in Australia before I head back home? What are my possible options?

To whom it may concern,
I’ve got an enquiry about my visa, which is an bridging visa A at the moment (for permanent residency) that is electronically attached to my Dutch passport which is about to expire next year 6th June. I am going to travel to Holland on the 12th May next year and wish to apply for a new Dutch passport at schiphol, in Amsterdam. However, I will need to apply for a bridging visa B if the department of immigration still hasnt approved my partnership visa. I will apply for this visa on my old passport and now I am wondering if this will cause problems if I will renew my passport in Holland and travel back with a new passport to Australia? As I have applied for the New Zealand Family relationship visa I will have to mail my personal changes to the department of immigration instead of doing this online, which could as a consequence take longer and might not be received before I travel back to Australia with the new passport. What can I do best?
To whom it may concern

Dear Sir/Madam,
I currently hold a Working holdiay subclass 417 with a German passport. It expires on the 20th of December. I believe i need to apply for a new visa before I’m granted a bridging visa A? I applied for an e600 but was denied. ETA visa seems the way to go and we believe that it will be granted outside Australia? can it be granted if i hold a current visa 417? if so will automatically start when i return from place of application or will it start once my current visa expires? My partner is Australian and the “partner visa” is to expensive. We are struggling to find any answers and we want to make arrangements asap.
What if my 417 visa is dued i will then need to leave the country and apply? what other visa will help in this situation to get a bridging visa A. This concerns me yet because it’s reasonable to say the visa department may decline any appliations they want. I have come across this previously.
I know it is a lot of things to consider but we don’t know what to do. We need help.
Thanks you so much.
Before making plans on traveling to Bali and arranging for an ETA visa we are trying to collect as much information as possible.

Graduate visa about to expire by 1st week of December. Not eligible for skilled visa 189 or other sponsored visa. Planning to apply for visitor visa 600, we will try with a visitor visa for one month extension and with these reasons to support our application.

And, we live in an unfurnished home, which will not be easy to move things and make arrangements for departure within couple of weeks along with a 8 month baby.
Ended up in this situation as we were positive of getting ielts/pte score.

Hi, I’m currently on a student visa but am planning on moving back to England as I can no longer afford the tuition fees. Do I cancel my student visa myself or inform the school? My concern is that if I tell the school now that they will immediately cancel my visa and my 28 days to leave will be before my flight home in November, even though I have paid my tuition until the next term which starts on 10th October. Also, will my cancelling a student visa now affect my opportunity to come back to Australia at a later date? Thanks, Laura

Hi, may I know if I voluntarily withdraw from PhD program, my uni will inform immigration and I have 28 days to leave Australia, so can I apply a dependent visa during these 28 days? my partner student visa (who is also a PhD student) will expire in 2019 and he is going to complete study January 2018. Or can I leave Australia, then apply ETA visitor visa to come back Australia and reunite with my partner and apply for dependent visa while holding ETA in Australia? I am from Malaysia. Thanks so much!
Or if I don’t withdraw voluntarily now, when my unsatisfactory progress comes out next week, will my university inform immigration that I breach of condition 8202 then I may face 3 year exclusion bar of re-entry to Australia? Or can I apply now for dependent visa and hopefully it can replace my student visa before my university notify immigration of breach of 8202 condition? What is my best option? Please advice. Thanks.

Hey guys,
quick questions:
My employer made me redundant after working for them 2 years on a 457. Now I’m in the process of applying for jobs.
– Can I apply for a Visitor Visa or another type that comes into effect as soon as the 457 expires to give me more time for applying?
– If I’m unable to find a job even after the extension of my stay and I finally have to leave OZ, can I still ask my ex employer to pay for the travelcosts back home which is an obligation for 457 employers?
I’d appreciate your help before I make my way to an Immigration Office. Tried calling them – waiting time over 1hr.
Thanks guys :)

I am in the process of applying for another postgraduate program and I am wondering if I can apply for a visitor visa e600 while waiting to get a CoE and then apply for another student visa since I am onshore and it would cost quite a bit for a return trip.

Hi,
My student visa expired on 15 March. I applied for a 485 visa which if granted, would be valid for 2 years. I am currently on a bridging visa A. Just wondering does the 2 years start from the day my visa is granted or from the day I was granted the bridging visa A? Also, do I need to be onshore when my 485 visa is granted (i.e. if I apply bridging B to travel out of Australia). How long am I allowed to leave Australia if I’m under a bridging visa B? After my 485 visa is granted, can I leave Australia to work in another country for a year and come back again during the second year of my 485 visa? How long am I allowed to leave after I have gotten the 485 visa? Lastly, how long does an application for bridging visa B takes and are the risks of being rejected high if I’m leaving Australia for travelling plans?
Thank you so much for your kind help!

My visa expires on Sunday 12th March – Monday is a public holiday.

I am looking for a way I can stay in Australia lawfully until 1st April – do I need to wait until Tuesday 14th March to apply (when visa has expired 2 days before) or can I arrange this on Friday 10th April so that I do not become unlawful for 2 days?

Hi Christine,
We have received your enquiry. One of our experts will be in touch with you via email. :)
If possible, I would like to address some of my queries regarding the application of the Temporary Graduate Visa(485). I am currently on a student visa, however my visa will be expiring on the 15th March 2017.
Concerns:
1. For English requirements, O’level results(Singaporean students) are not valid if they are beyond the limit of 3 years prior to receiving my first student visa. Would like to double check if this accurate information and would I have to take the IELTS exam in order to qualify?
2. On the Immigration website, it is stated that it might take up to 12 months to process and the applicant must be in Australia whilst the visa is being processed. I am aware that a Bridging visa is provided for applicants to remain in the country however, am unsure if applying within the limited amount of time is too risky and not a viable option to even start the application process.
Thank you for your time,your advice would be greatly appreciated.Looking forward to hearing from you.

But as now I hold a bridging visa C on the another employers sponsorship can I switch the nomination on the same visa application? Or else if I apply for new visa then what visa will I get?

I just have a question regarding my partner visa application i applied for a partner visa in sep 2015 in sep 2016 i got asked for more documents and medicals and a new police report which i supplied all of em in nov 2016 and in mid december 2016 my agent called me saying that department of immigration called and ask for an updated passport copy as my passpod is expired so I renewed my passport last week and sent it by post using form 929 im on bridging visa A now and im not happy with my agent at all and i want it to change it but my question is is that a good sign of a visa grant soon because dibp asked for my passport or its just a normal process and the application can still be refused and about agent should i wait for a decision on 820 first before i change him ?
Thanks

Hi,
My boyfriend is on a Bridhing Visa E and waiting to hear from immigration about his humanitarian application. There is a possibility he will be sent to a rural area to work or study and he’s worried about this because there are not many jobs in rural areas. In the mean time he wants to work in Sydney. He heard that if you are working full time in Sydney you don’t have to move to a rural area, is that true? We can’t confirm this anywhere.

Hi Mycamena,
Thanks for your enquiry online.
I appreciate the background of the situation.
The answer to your situation depends. It depends if his employer is willing
to sponsor him, and if your boyfriend is eligible for any employer
sponsored visa pathways.
Can you send me your number? I can call you and your boyfriend to ask
questions and assess what is the best option for you.
I look forward to your reply.

Hi there. Just wanting some advice. My partner has applied for Partner Visa. He is currently on Bridging Visa A, which expires 19 Dec. He has been granted a Bridging Visa C, to commence thereafter. Can we apply for removal of work restrictions to the bridging visa C, and will this affect the decision of the Partner Visa? He has been employed for more than 5 years with his current employer and as I am a full time mother (a non-working sponsor, as such, he has been the main breadwinner supporting our family.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
My current visa (485) is going to expire in May and my company is looking into sponsoring me. However, they have not sponsored before. We are unsure whether the whole process (SBS, Nomination and my visa application) can be done before my visa ends. Also, what should i do if my visa expires in the middle of any process??

Hello, I’ve accidentally overstayed my Work and Holiday visa (462) by 9 days now. I’m assuming that I will have to submit for a bridging visa E, though I won’t be able to make arrangements for my flight out of the country immediately. If I apply for the bridging visa E would I be granted a month or two to make my arrangements, or would I be better off applying for a temporary visa while I’m still in the country? What are my options?
Thank you for your help!

Hi Suma,
We have received your enquiry. One of our visa experts will be in touch with you via email.
I would love your advise on what to do in my little situation here. What is the safest solution for me to put in my application?
Background:
– My company and I, applied for sponsor 457 in October last year (!)
– In January my company was refused as a sponsor, due to two missing documents in the application.
– Based on an advise from AAT to not action anything, I was also received refusal (because Immigration hadn’t heard from me).
– We (my company and I, separately) filed an appeal with AAT within 28 days after the refusal. The appeal is fairly weak..
– As a result of this I am currently on a BVB.
Now, we wish to apply for a partner visa INSTEAD of the 457 ( so we can move interstate). But our dilemma is whether to
A) withdraw the 457 application, resulting in a BVC (Right?), then applying for partnership. OR
B) Keep the 457 application running, but apply for partner visa as well. When the partner visa application is submitted and paid – then withdraw the 457 application? In which case, what bridging visa will I end up on?

Hello,
I was wondering if it is safe to apply for the partner visa, while my substantive (student) visa will run out in 4 months? Is there any time period to guarantee your eligibility for a bridging visa or will it automatically be granted if application received before initial visa expires?

I completed my Master of Public Health course (2 years) earlier this month but my graduation ceremony is in December 16th but due to health issues , I booked my flight ticket to India (home)- 1st December departure and 17th January Arrival in Melbourne, Since I cannot attend this graduation ceremony I deferred it to May graduation cycle but I have no official documents for this, just an email. My student visa is valid till March 17th,2017. I am now panicking because few international students said that I might not be allowed to return as I have finished my studies. I was planning to apply for post graduate/post study work visa once I come back.. Please give me some information regarding this ..

Hi Sir,
I’m holding student visa 573 and my visa will be expired on 15 March 2017. I got married, my husband and I will lodge partner visa (820/801) on the end of January next year. I will get a bridging visa A after lodged.

Hello
I have a query, I am current on my Student visa(Subclass 573) and my visa expires on 15th of March, 2017. i will apply for visa 189 on 15th of November. Supposedly, when i will launch my 189 visa application, automatically i will be getting bridging visa A, which should start from 16th of March,2017. Is that right?
Now, after launching my application, if i plan to visit my country on 16th of Nov,2016 and stay on vacation till December, will there be any problem coming back to Australia? Until march 2017, i will have student visa. Is that right? Please suggest.

Hi Asif,

Hello
I am currently on a 417 visa and my employer is going to sponsor me for my 457 visa. It is very close to when my 417 visa and work rights with this employer runs out. If they manage to submit before my visa expires does the BVA instantly get granted or is there a waiting time for this aswell?
Hello Rowan,
Thanks for your comment.
If you are moving from a 417 to a 457, you have to be aware of a couple of key points.
The first is your 6 month work limitation with one employer. If this is nearing the 6 month period, then your new 457 nomination and visa application has to be submitted “and” a formal application made to request to extend the 6 month work limitation.
The other point is that you must submit your 457 visa application prior to your 417 visa expiry date in order to secure a bridging visa, which is legally granted at the time of application, but technically does not come into effect until your current visa expires.
Please note, that you still have to ensure that all applications lodged (Sponsorship, Nomination and Visa Application) have to satisfy the legislated requirements / criteria for each of the 457 stages (ie. Sponsorship, Nomination and Visa Application). The whole 457 case can fail if any of the stages do not get approved, due to mis-aligned information, lack of evidence or non-compliance with the legal criteria for each stage.
Does that help answer your questions?

Hi,
I am thinking of lodging a substansive work visa in Dec 2016 before my student visa expires in Jan 2017. I wanted to travel after i lodge the substansive visa and return before student visa ends. I understand that the BVA will not come into effect once my student visa expires and that i’ll have to apply for it to be reinstated when i return. Therefore, how long does it take to apply for it to be reinstated because im planning to return 2 days before my student visa expires?

I am on my 2nd year working holiday visa which expires in the end of October this year.
I would like to find a way to stay longer in Australia and work full time in the meantime.
Is there any way to get a very long bridging visa, like at least half a year?
PS I won’t qualify for skilled independent visa.
Also I would like to know that if I am applying for a tourist visa and I get rejected, can I still work for 28 days and if I get a tourist visa then can I work the first 28 days and after that I am under the rules of tourist visa which won’t allow me to work?

Hi Dean,

Hi there,
I am so confused right now and I hope you can point me to the right direction.
My Visa 802/820 application has been refused, applied MRT since December2015. Now I am lodging my Visa187 application offshore on my BVB and remain onshore after the lodgment. I, however, was concerned I will have to leave when the hearing comes up. Is that mean I cannot remain in AU for working until the Visa187 granted? Or another way that I can stay longer and work for the current employer as they are sponsoring me? I worried I will get fired and lose the application if I cannot work for them.
I look forward to your favorable reply.
Kind regards,

Hello!
We have been on sponsorship for 2 years and 4 months but as it didn’t work out with the employer my partner has finished working for the company 3 weeks ago (last day on the 22nd of August). We found out that I could apply for 187 BUT we have a trip to New Zealand planned from 9th of December to 28th of December. We were told that we would be on bridging visa C or E which means we can’t come back to the country when we leave. Are we able to use the form 1005 to replace a ceased visa or should we apply for visa 600 to get in… Help would be much appreciated.

Hello Visa One team!
Thank you for the informative article but im afraid I need further clarification.
I am currently on a 417 Visa and have been offered sponsorship with my company but they’re having some admin issues and it delaying the whole thing quite a lot. I expect them to resolve this soon but my visa runs out on the 14th December 2016, if my application hasn’t been approved by this stage but is still pending, what will this mean to my status in the country?
Also, in anticipation of my visa being fixed by the 14th December, I booked a return flight for the 17th Dec – 10th Jan, again if my application is still ongoing, can I re-enter the country if the 457 hasn’t yet been granted?
Finally, my partner wishes to be added as de-facto. Do we apply together or would there have to be a separate application once mine is granted? Again, im cautious that her visa will also expire if we are still in the application process.
Thank you very much in advance, any information would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
I’d like to apply (on-shore) for a 189 skilled visa upon the completion of my Master’s degree in November/December, but I’m worried there isn’t enough time to get a successful skills assessment, submit an EOI and submit an application between the end of my course (and the release of documents required for my skills assessment) and the expiry of my current visa which is 15/3/17. I don’t know if it’s worth the gamble, considering I don’t know how much time the skills assessment will take, or how long between an EOI and an invitation to apply; will I be considered unlawful if I am mid-process and my student visa expires?

Hi,
My current student visa (subclass 573) is going to expire on 30th Aug, and i cannot not get all the required documents ready before i lodge my 485 application,
unluckily, i was sick to sit for the Ielts test on 20th Aug, if i wasn’t sick and sit for the test, the results was going to be released on 2nd Sept, which is 3 day after my current visa expires, Im planning to transfer the test date to 10th Sept, that will lead to a late release of my results (on the 23rd Sept),
can you advise me of which subclass of bridging visa should i apply for at Community Status Resolution Service on 31st Aug so that i can stay lawfully for 28 days more (or some other lengths of period)? and should i whether lodge the 485 application with paper forms or online? in the case that i can guarantee that all the required documents i needed for my 485 application will be prepared and the application will be lodged.
