BVA: Bridging visa A is a transitional visa, which is held when the applicant holds a substantive visa (such as a student visa) and submits a valid application because he has not obtained a new visa. The visa allows the applicant to stay in Australia legally, and the applicant has the right to study and work. Bridge visa A is usually obtained automatically after the applicant submits a visa application. It should be noted that BVA is a one-time visa, which means that if the applicant leaves Australia, BVA will be invalid immediately, even if the applicant's substantive visa is still valid.

BVB: Bridge visa B is a supplement to Bridge visa A.. If BVA holders need to leave Australia, they need to apply for BVB at the Immigration Bureau. According to the actual situation of the applicant, BVB is valid for three months to one year. Applicants need to return to Australia before BVB expires, otherwise they need to re-apply for other substantive visas to enter Australia. To apply for BVB, you need to fill in the form 1006 and submit it to the Immigration Bureau, which can usually be obtained on the same day.

BVC: Bridge visa C is a special visa. When the applicant submits a valid immigration application but does not hold a substantive visa, the applicant will get BVC. For example, a student visa applicant will get a BVA after submitting a 485 application, and then submit an 885 application. Because the applicant's student visa has expired, he will get BVC at this time. Similar to BVA, BVC is also a one-time visa, but unlike BVA, BVC does not give the applicant the right to work, and the applicant cannot apply for BVB.
