Bridging Visa D (BVD)

What is the Bridging visa D (BVD).

A Bridging visa D (BVD) is a temporary visa that allows you to stay in Australia for a short period until you are able to make a substantive visa application or are granted a Bridging visa E (BVE).

This visa lets you stay in Australia for a short time until you are able to make a substantive visa application or are granted a Bridging visa E (BVE).​​

It does not allow you to work or re-enter Australia if you leave.

There is no application charge for a BVD.
