Tazzamaraz Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hi, I am currently on a 457 visa with the worst company EVER! I have just moved in with my partner and we are in the process of registering our de facto relationship then intend to apply for an 820 visa for me. My question is will I be apply to apply for a bridging visa to relieve me of my 457 restrictions so I can work elsewhere? My partner lives very rurally and my home is now a one hour drive from my work so a two hour round trip for a job that I absolutely hate is torture. I hope there is good news for me!!

Alan Collett Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 You don't apply for a BV. As a 457 visaholder a BV is granted when you lodge an onshore visa application, and comes into effect when your current visa expires. I anticipate that such a BV will not have a work condition attaching to it. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramot Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Might be worth reading my posts, as you might be on bridging visa E until your 457 ceases. This happened to my daughter, and it's no joke not being able to work or leave the country if your 457 is still valid for quite some time, after leaving your job.
