Bridging visa A (BVA) Australia

Stay in Australia lawfully while your immigration status is resolved

The Bridging Visa A (BVA) allows you to stay in Australia lawfully while your new substantive visa application is being processed. This bridging visa takes effect once your current substantive visa expires, helping you avoid becoming an unlawful non-citizen. The BVA generally carries the same conditions as your previous visa, but if work restrictions apply, you may need to demonstrate financial hardship to gain work rights. Note that travel is not permitted on this visa.

What is the bridging visa A (BVA)?

A Bridging Visa A (BVA) allows you to remain in Australia when you have lodged an application for a visa, your current substantive visa ceases and while your application for a substantive visa is still being processed. Once your substantive visa has expired, the BVA ensures you stay lawfully until your new visa is granted or finally determined. However, the BVA doesn’t allow you to leave Australia or re-enter; for travel, a Bridging Visa B (BVB) is required. Should your BVA lack work rights, you may be able to apply for a new bridging visa by demonstrating financial hardship. Other Australian bridging visas include Bridging Visa C (BVC), Bridging Visa D (BVD), and Bridging Visa E (BVE), each with specific visa conditions. The BVA ceases if your current visa is cancelled or if you depart Australia voluntarily.

Eligibility requirements for the bridging visa A (BVA)

To be eligible for a Bridging Visa A (BVA), you must meet several common criteria. You should hold or have previously held a substantive visa and be in Australia when you apply for the BVA. Your bridging visa application must be valid, and you should have applied for a new substantive visa or initiated judicial review of an immigration decision within the statutory time limits, typically 35 days from an Administrative Appeals Tribunal decision. You must also meet the character requirement and adhere to the visa conditions attached to your current visa. If applying for a protection visa or seeking ministerial intervention, ensure your application is submitted within the prescribed time frame to avoid issues such as immigration detention. While age is not a restriction, all other criteria outlined in the Migration Regulations 1994 must be fulfilled.

Benefits of a bridging visa A (BVA)

  • Lawful Stay: When granted a Bridging Visa A (BVA), you can remain lawfully in Australia while your substantive visa application or judicial review is processed, ensuring you do not become an unlawful non-citizen.
  • Work Rights: BVA allows you to work under the entitlements attached to your previous visa. If applying for another temporary visa, work rights are subject to the same substantive visa application and may vary depending on visa options. If applying for a permanent visa, your work rights are subject to that of the new substantive visa. 
  • Family Inclusion: You can include family members in your BVA application if they are part of the same substantive visa application. The Department of Home Affairs periodically assesses these applications.
  • Visa Options: Provides options to apply for different visa types, such as Bridging Visa B or other transitory visas, based on your situation.

How the bridging visa A (BVA) works?

If you apply for a new substantive visa, you will generally be automatically granted a Bridging Visa A (BVA). A separate application for a BVA may be necessary where your substantive visa application did not also constitute an application for a BVA, you were granted a BVA or a Bridging visa B (BVB) but this has ceased and you meet the requirements for another BVA, you are seeking a further BVA without work restrictions, or you have applied for judicial review. To apply for a BVA linked with your substantive visa application, you can apply through ImmiAccount under your initial application, depending on your eligibility.
