If you want to maintain a legal living status in Australia while the substantive visa application is under process, then you can apply for Bridging Visa Australia. This visa can also be availed if you want to make arrangements to leave for your home country as your previous substantive visa is about to expire or has already expired. Bridging visas except the BVB (Bridging visa B) does not allow you to re-enter Australia once you leave the country. These are a temporary resident visas that a person can apply in accordance with the needs, circumstances and purpose of the stay.
You can continue living in Australia on Bridging Visa A until the Department of Home Affairs comes to any conclusion regarding your substantive visa application. An applicant is entitled to this visa once she/he lodges an application for a new visa, be onshore with a current valid visa status.
Any individual who intends to travel outside of Australia with a subsequent reason while living in the country on a Bridging Visa A can apply for Bridging Visa B to obtain travel rights. One has to be onshore to apply for this visa and it comes with an attached travel facility.
If you are living in Australia illegally without a substantive visa, in order to become a lawful resident with a new visa to live in Australia you can apply for Bridging Visa C. This visa is available to the onshore applicants only and does not allow the holders to apply for BVB for travel facility.
With Bridging Visa D an applicant is allowed to live in Australia for up to 5 days. This visa is generally availed to apply for a valid substantive visa which you previously failed due to some error in your visa application. Once this visa is granted you can then reapply for a new visa within the BVD period, with complete and error-free details and fees.
Bridging Visa E intends to give a lawful living status to an applicant whose substantive visa has ended and is waiting for a new visa grant or is planning to leave Australia. Bridging visas, regardless of the stream are granted only when a person fulfills the certain requirements such as age, health and relation etc.

Immigration lawyers Perth have been brilliant in managing our complicated case. My husband and I were looking to settle in Australia together. So we approached Immigration Lawyers Perth for the processing of a partner visa(subclass 820). The team of visa lawyers here, genuinely listened to our problem and understood our concerns very easily. All the formalities and legal procedures were done by them with proper communication with us and we got our partner visa approved in a few days. I had complete faith in them from the very start, and they did not let us down. We are all very grateful for the quality of work that we have experienced, and benefited from, and would not hesitate to recommend their services. Thank You Immigration Lawyers Perth WA for helping us with our visa process
To me, Immigration Lawyers Perth is the best immigration firm in their field. My case was really complicated and without the exceptional help, support and service from Immigration Lawyers, I believe it would have been really difficult to get my application successful if I had to do it by myself or with other law firms. I am very much satisfied with their services and support. Highly recommended Immigration Lawyers Perth.
I came to search for Legal advice with a complicated application for visa 187. Immigration Lawyers Perth has been very straight forward, detail focused and well-oriented advisor to my case. I couldn’t be more happier and glad that I did terminate my former migration lawyer and looked for a more effective and professional immigration lawyer. Thank you for your great service.
