Hello everyone,
I'm currently on a 417 visa which expires on the 18th of April. I have decided to enroll at a school in Australia, and can either start on the 27th of April or on the 6th of June. I would prefer starting a bit later as I have things to take care of that will take a bit of time.
I was wondering if I will get a bridging visa (A) in between the end of my 417 (WHV) and the start of my student visa 572 (so either 27/04 or 06/06) ? I obviously do not want to have to go back home for such a short time, especially cause I'm trying to save money. Also, if I do get a bridging visa, what about the 28 days expiry date after the decision on the 2nd visa has been made ? And finally, if I do get a bridging visa, would I be allowed to work full time or only 20h/week like on a student visa ?
Thank you very much for your help !
