Hi @LindaH27, thanks for the reply. I am actually confused whether or not she needs to go our of Australia when she hits the 12th month because she was granted a bridging visa A. I don't know if it will start after she finished the 12 months of her tourist visa.

Hi everyone, I know this might have been asked several times but I need some enlightenment. My mum is currently holding a visitor subclass visa which was granted last year. She entered Australia in June 2018 and went back to our home country in March 2019 for 10 days. Recently, we have applied onshore for her parent visa and was granted a bridging visa A. I understand that it will take effect once her current visitor visa expires, but I am confused because her visitor visa does have the 8558 condition (not more than 12 months stay in 18 months). Apparently, when she left Australia last March, the validity of her visa was reset for another 12 months so its expiry date now shows March 2020. Her 12th month stay will be next week, but I am confused if the BVA will kick in next week or on March 2020? If it will take effect in 2020, she will breach the 8558 condition. Also, it was noted on her current visa that she must not arrive after October 2019. I am a bit confused whether she needs to leave Australia or not. Thanks!
