    About the Bridging Visa E Australia

    The Australia Bridging Visa E (BVE) is a temporary visa that allows you to legally stay in the country while awaiting an immigration decision, finalising your immigration status, or making arrangements to leave. It comes in two forms: Subclass 050 for general situations and Subclass 051 specifically for those seeking protection visas. While it carries no application fee, work rights are
    limited and only granted in cases of financial hardship.

    Bridging E Visa Subclass 050

    The Bridging E Visa Australia Subclass 050 offers a temporary lifeline for non-citizens who need extra time in the country. Whether you are finalising your immigration status, awaiting a decision, or arranging your departure, this visa allows you to stay legally while you plan your next steps. However, it must be noted that this visa is temporary and does not guarantee
    permanent residency.

    Bridging E Visa Subclass 051

    The BVE Subclass 051 is a temporary bridge for individuals who seek protection visas and who require more time while their application is assessed. Like the subclass 050, this visa grants lawful stay in Australia but not a permanent solution.

    Bridging Visa E Conditions

    Bridging E Visa 050

    Here are the Bridging Visa E Subclass 050 conditions:

    • You and anyone included in your application must be physically present in Australia when you apply and at the time of the decision.
    • You must be making arrangements to leave the country. This applies if your visa has expired or you need time to organise your departure.
    • You must apply for a substantive visa. This applies when you are waiting for a decision on another visa application.
    • You may be allowed to work but only in cases of financial hardships.
    • This visa is temporary and does not lead you to permanent residency.

    Bridging E Visa 051

    To apply for a Bridging Visa E subclass 051, these are the eligibility conditions that you need to fulfil:

    • You have either been refused immigration clearance or bypassed it. This means that you were denied entry or entered the country without a proper approval.
    • You notified the Department of Foreign Affairs within 45 days after your arrival.
    • You have applied for a protection visa and the decision is still pending; your protection visa was denied and you are seeking an appeal; or you are in immigration detention with specific requirements.

    Bridging Visa E Processing Time and Cost

    The Bridging Visa E cost for subclass 050 and 051 is waived. However, you may need to pay for service charges for your health and character tests, and other additional requirements that may be needed to support your application.

    The Department also aims to process the applications as quickly as possible. However, there is no set time frame as it can vary depending on your individual situation and the nature of your case.
