Bridging Visas

We provide strategic legal support for individuals navigating transitional stages of their immigration journey. Bridging visas are temporary visas that allow you to remain lawfully in Australia while your immigration status is being resolved—whether you are awaiting a decision, preparing to travel, or addressing complex legal matters.

Types of bridging visas:

• Bridging Visa A (subclass 010) – Enables lawful stay in Australia while a new substantive visa application is being processed. It is typically granted to applicants who apply for a new visa before their current one expires. 

• Bridging Visa B (subclass 020) – Allows travel outside Australia and re-entry while your substantive visa application is pending. This visa is essential for applicants who need to temporarily leave the country without jeopardizing their immigration status. 

• Bridging Visa C (subclass 030) – For individuals who apply for a substantive visa while unlawfully in Australia. It permits lawful stay during the processing period but generally does not allow travel or work unless specifically granted.

• Bridging Visa E (subclass 050 and 051) – Designed for individuals who are unlawful non-citizens or in immigration detention. It provides lawful status while arrangements are made to resolve immigration matters, such as applying for a visa or preparing to depart Australia.

Our team understands the urgency and sensitivity surrounding bridging visas. We offer clear advice, timely applications, and advocacy to ensure your rights are protected and your immigration pathway remains secure.
