What it is for
This form is used to apply for a Bridging E visa, which regularises the status of a person who is unlawful or would otherwise have no lawful basis to remain, while a substantive visa application, review, or ministerial intervention is resolved. It may also be used to change the conditions of a held Bridging E visa.
Who completes it
The 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.
Information it collects (in general terms)
General categories include the applicant's personal and identity details, passport information, residential address in Australia, the basis for the application such as an associated substantive visa or review, any compelling need to work and reasons for delay, and details of family members included.
When it is used
Used by people in Australia who need lawful status while awaiting a substantive visa decision, judicial review or ministerial intervention, or who need to replace a ceased Bridging E visa or change its conditions, and who cannot apply through ImmiAccount.
