What it is for
This form is used to apply for a Bridging visa A, B or C, including where a previous bridging visa has ceased, where a bridging visa with different or nil conditions is wanted, or where judicial review of a decision has been sought. It supports lawful status while a substantive visa or review matter is resolved.
Who completes it
The visa applicant seeking the bridging visa, or a person authorised to act on their behalf; family members who are members of the family unit may be included in the same application.
Information it collects (in general terms)
General categories include the applicant's personal and identity details, passport information, residential address in Australia, details of the associated substantive visa or review application, work-related circumstances such as financial hardship, and details of any family members included.
When it is used
Used by people in Australia who need a bridging visa linked to a substantive visa application or review, or who need to replace a ceased bridging visa or change its conditions, and who are not applying through ImmiAccount.
