What is an Australian Bridge visa?

Australian 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.

Bridge visa issued to:

1, the applicant for a new visa to Australia;

2. Applicants who appeal against Australia's visa refusal or cancellation;

3. Those who refuse or cancel their applications to the Australian Immigration Minister in Australia;

4. illegal persons without visas who are ready to leave the country automatically.

Extended data:

First, the timeliness of the bridge visa will change.

Change 1: The validity of the bridge visa is extended from 28 days to 35 days.

Change 2: The validity period of the bridge visa will give a clear date.

Second, use the original substantive visa to judge whether the visa can leave the country.

If the original entity visa has expired, you cannot leave the country. If you want to leave the country, you need to apply for a bridge visa B.

If the original substantive visa has not expired, you can leave the country, but you must enter Australia before the original visa expires.

3. When obtaining a visa, the applicant will know whether his work is restricted, and if there are restrictions, he can also apply for exemption (with sufficient reasons). Generally speaking, there are no restrictions on business investment immigrants, employer-sponsored immigrants and new visa applicants among general skilled immigrants. Applying for other types of new visas will restrict you from working, but you can apply for exemption (reasons need to be provided).
