How long does an ETA last, and what happens if my passport expires?
An ETA is generally linked to your passport and may allow multiple trips, but it can end earlier if the passport stops being valid.
What does finally determined mean for a bridging visa?
Finally determined generally means the visa application has reached an endpoint under the migration rules, such as a grant, a refusal with no review pathway left, or completion of merits review.
What happens if my Visitor visa has a stay limit or departure rule?
You must follow the stay period and any extra stay-limit rules on the visa grant. Going over the allowed period can create cancellation, bond, sponsor and future visa problems.
What happens to my bridging visa if I withdraw my visa or review application?
Withdrawing the related visa or review application can cause the bridging visa to cease after a set period. The timing depends on the type of withdrawal and when the bridging visa was granted.
What visa period, work and study rules apply to a subclass 590 Student Guardian visa?
The 590 visa period is usually linked to the student's visa and age, and the guardian is usually restricted from working and from studying for more than a limited period.
When does a bridging visa come into effect and cease?
A bridging visa can be held before it is in effect. It usually comes into effect when the person no longer holds another visa that keeps them lawful, and it ceases when a specified event or date occurs.
