Overview

Bridging visas keep you lawful while a substantive application or review is decided. Work rights, travel (BVB) and conditions vary — managing them correctly prevents accidental unlawful status.

Eligibility requirements

  • Linked to a pending substantive visa application or ART review
  • Conditions depend on your previous visa and circumstances

Document checklist

  • ImmiAccount records
  • BVB application if travel is needed
  • Evidence for work-rights variation (financial hardship cases)

Frequently asked questions

Can I travel while my application is pending?

Only on a Bridging Visa B — and you must hold it before you leave. Departing on a BVA cancels it and can strand you offshore; always confirm the BVB grant first.
