In this episode of Trabaho, Visa, atbp., Migration Lawyer Johanna Nonato explained what a Bridging Visa is, its different types, and the conditions that must be followed to avoid affecting current or future applications.


Key Points
  • A Bridging Visa is a temporary visa that allows migrants to stay legally in Australia while waiting for a decision on their substantive visa or visa review.
  • There are different types such as Bridging Visa A, B, C, and E; only Bridging Visa B permits travel outside the country and return.
  • Things to watch out for: Breaching visa conditions, such as unauthorised work or misuse of travel rights, may affect future visa applications.
