Thank you @Amber Snowball and @paulhand I do have a multiple entry tourist visa but it states "Visa expiry date 26th October 2019" and "Must not arrive after 26th October 2019" so the way understand it, the visitor visa has expired on 7th Nov and that's why I need to have a BVB to return AUS? And therefore the 3-month visitor visa will not start all over again? Correct if I'm wrong. And yes my Bridging visa doesn't have the work permits since I first had a tourist visa. Do you know whether it matters if I apply first the BVB or the change of work conditions? Thank you!

Hi! I've lodged my 461 partner visa application but my bridging visa hasn't kicked in yet since my tourist visa is still valid until 26th October 2019. But, I'll be abroad 16th October - 7th November so my tourist visa will expire while I'm abroad and therefore I need to apply BVB - I've understood I can apply the BVB even though my actual BVA hasn't started yet? I'm also applying to change the bridging visa conditions to get a working permit while waiting for the visa, but now I'm thinking whether it matters which application I do first, the BVB or the form 1005 to change the work conditions? Is there a risk one would replace the other and I would lose either the BVB travel option or then the work permit? Apologies if the explanation was too complex Thank you so much for any help!

Hi! I have a quite complex question but let's see if someone is able to help! So I'm currently in Australia with the eVisitor visa 651 (Multiple entries with 3 months from each arrival) and I have lodged a NZ Family visa sc 461. My BVA will kick in when the visitor visa expires in 3 months but I might have to leave the country before that and therefore be outside of Australia when the original 90 days of the tourist visa will expire and BVA would kick in. The question is: Am I able to get a BVB to travel before the BVA starts and then return Australia with BVB to avoid starting the 3 month tourist visa again? My eVisitor is valid for 6 more months but I wouldn't want to start the 90 days tourist period from the beginning and therefore be waiting for the work rights. Hope you understood what I was trying to explain! Thank you so much for all the help!!
