Noted. So it's not a legitimate way to fast track bringing your partner in?

So just to be 100% - - we apply for tourist visa (651) - fly in 1week - submit 820 once onshore - once tourist visa expires (3 months) BVA kicks in - and my partner has full work rights? Thanks so so much everyone, David

Brilliant Paul, thanks for that

Excellent Thank you for confirming

Thanks, that's great news. do you have any articles / links that support that? thanks, david

Hello hello, I'm an Irish / Australian who left Sydney 11 months ago to try life back in Dublin with my Belgian partner of 3 years. We met 3 years ago in Sydney while she was on her working holiday visa. We've both decided we'd like to go back, but aren't fussed waiting ~17 months for the offshore visa. My question is: if we went to Sydney on a 651 and made the onshore 820 application - her 651 visa would expire in 3 months & she'd go on a Bridging Visa A - would she have any work rights on this visa, or would it be a continuation of the 651 work rights (i.e none). Much thanks PIO D&C
