Bridging Visa B
The Bridging Visa B (BVB) is a temporary visa that allows immigrants in Australia to stay in the country while their application for a permanent visa is processed. It is important to understand the requirements and restrictions of the BVB so you can make the most of this opportunity to stay in Australia. This blog post will outline some key facts about the Bridging Visa B, including its eligibility requirements and how to apply.
What is Bridging Visa B
Bridging Visa B: Are you planning to go overseas while awaiting outcome of another visa applied or response from AAT or judicial matter; and you are on a bridging visa A or B?
For various reasons, you have your forthcoming travel plans in mind while you are awaiting outcomes of a new visa applied or AAT (or other judicial review) matter being under progress.
Below Is What You Need To Do With The View To Traveling Overseas And Come Back To Australia Without Any Hassle With Your Visa.
1. First, you need to check if you are eligible to apply. As mentioned above, you must hold a birding visa A or Bridging visa B.
2. If you applied for a substantive visa and awaiting the outcome:
A. You will be able to lodge the BVB application online by completing the online form available.
3. If you made an application AAT or applied for a judicial review or applied for a substantive visa on paper, you are required to complete a form (paper) and lodge it by post or courier to one of the processing offices in the State of Territory you live in.
4. You can add your family member (for example, your children and spouse) as additional applicants.
5. There is no specified processing time available; however, it usually takes around as short as a few days or a few weeks in the longest case scenario.
Once you come back to Australia with the BVB, you will still be on the BVB regardless of whether you still hold a BVA which has not expired, or your visa matter or judicial review matters are still in progress. But do not assume that you can travel with the same BVB again unless you confirm that the travel facility attached to it has not expired yet.
