Bridging Visas (A·B·C·E) Explained
When your visa has expired but a decision on your new visa hasn't come through yet, a Bridging Visa is what lets you stay in Australia 'lawfully'. Depending on the type (A·B·C·E), your right to work and whether you can travel overseas can differ greatly.
This article is general information for foreigners living in Australia, not legal or migration advice. Visa types, fees, conditions and processing times change often and vary with your personal situation. Before making any decision, always check your own visa on the official Department of Home Affairs website immi.homeaffairs.gov.au, and for complex matters consult a registered migration agent or an immigration lawyer.
