Explain Australia's bridge visa in detail: what is a bridge visa?

The bridge visa is a transitional visa, not a substantive visa.

Mainly to ensure the legal residence right of non-Australian permanent residents when they live in Australia. Those who are waiting for a substantive visa decision, those who appeal because their visa applications are rejected, and those who appeal because their visas are cancelled can apply for a bridge visa.

Usually, the bridge visa takes effect when it is issued and lasts until the end of the visa. However, if the bridge visa holder also holds other substantive visas, the bridge visa will not take effect until the substantive visa is completed.

Application conditions

According to the purpose of the application, the requirements for the bridge visa are different:

1. Entity visa application: Generally speaking, when an applicant submits a valid entity visa application in Australia, he will automatically get a bridge visa by default, that is, there is no need to submit a bridge visa application separately.

Bridge visa is mainly used to ensure that non-citizens can legally stay in Australia during the substantive visa application and trial stage, waiting for the result of visa application. However, if the Immigration Bureau determines that the substantive visa application is invalid, it will notify the applicant by letter, and the bridge visa will automatically expire on the 28th day after receiving the notice, such as the bridge visa A and the bridge visa C..

2. Examination of the cause of complaint: If the entity visa application submitted by the applicant is rejected during the period of holding the bridge visa, the applicant shall submit the appeal application within the time limit stipulated by the Immigration Bureau, and the original bridge visa held by the applicant will remain valid during the appeal period (such as the bridge visa A and the bridge visa C), and there is no need to apply again.

If the applicant holds a valid entity visa, and his/her valid visa is cancelled by the Immigration Bureau or the Immigration Bureau refuses to cancel the decision to cancel the visa cancellation and seeks an appeal, then the applicant must first submit an application for a bridge visa separately (only for a bridge visa E), and then submit an appeal application to the relevant institutions after obtaining the bridge visa.
