Bridging Visa C (Subclass 030)

ABOUT THIS VISA

​

The Bridging Visa C is a temporary visa that allows you to stay in Australia after your current substantive visa ceases and while your new substantive visa application is being processed.

 

​

COSTS & DETAILS OF THE BRIDGING VISA C

​

The Bridging Visa C currently is free and there are no processing times for this visa. Typically it is granted within a few days of applying provided you are eligible for this visa.

​

WHAT THIS VISA LETS YOU DO

​

The  Bridging Visa C allows you to:

  • Stay lawfully in Australia until your substantive visa application is finally determined, or where granted in association with judicial review, until those proceedings are completed

  • work, if you meet the requirements for work

  • This is a temporary visa. Nearly all bridging visas are applied for automatically as part of applying for a substantive visa. The Department will tell you if this happens. Check if you already hold a Bridging Visa C with VEVO.

  • A separate application for a Bridging Visa C may be necessary where you have applied for judicial review.  If you are seeking a Bridging Visa C without work restrictions, you will have to apply for a new Bridging Visa C.

  • A Bridging Visa C will end immediately if the following situations occur:

    • you leave Australia while your Bridging Visa C is in effect

    • you are granted the substantive visa you applied for

    • you are granted another bridging visa in relation to the same substantive visa application that this Bridging Visa C is associated with, or

    • we cancel either your Bridging Visa C or the substantive visa that you held when you were granted the Bridging Visa C

​

​
