Bridging visas are granted whilst a visa application or appeal of a decision is being decided upon, but for judicial review you need to ensure that you are eligible and meet the strict deadlines imposed by legislation. If you fail to apply for a bridging visa within the time frame, this might have adverse consequences as you might have limited rights whilst on the bridging visa and even lose your lawful status as a visa holder or applicant in Australia. Therefore, it is important to seek legal advice if you are on a bridging visa or are in the process of appealing a decision so that you do not have problems with your visa status whilst in Australia. Chua Tan Associates is able to provide you with confidential advice if you are experiencing any issues with your bridging visa.
