Australia offers Bridging Visas to allow individuals to remain lawfully in the country while their application for another substantive visa is being processed. These visas are crucial in maintaining legal status during the transition between visas. Here’s a brief description:
Bridging Visas are temporary visas that allow individuals to stay in Australia while awaiting the outcome of their application for another visa or while making arrangements to leave the country. There are several types of Bridging Visas, but the most common ones are:
Bridging Visa A (BVA): Allows you to stay in Australia if your substantive visa has expired while awaiting a decision on your new visa application.
Bridging Visa B (BVB): This visa allows individuals to leave and re-enter Australia while their substantive visa application is being processed. It’s useful for those who need to travel internationally during their visa transition.
Bridging Visa C (BVC): Granted to those who apply for a substantive visa while they are unlawfully in Australia, allowing them to stay legally while their application is considered.
The Bridging Visa B (BVB) comes with a fee, which covers the processing of the application. As of 2024, the application fee for a BVB is around AUD 165, but fees may vary depending on individual circumstances and changes in government policies. The fee is relatively low compared to other visa types, making it accessible for those who need temporary permission to travel outside of Australia while their visa is being processed.
