VERYSTORMY Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 It applies to all training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawgreen Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 So that means no training in any job i get ? That seems a bit ridiculous . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a Bridging Visa, its only temporary and they all have restrictions on them. Many people on bridging visas can't work, never mind attend training.

welder85 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Which Bridging Visa is it? Our BVA says no work restrictions and no study restrictions... the only restriction we have is No Travel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our BVA says no work restrictions and no study restrictions... the only restriction we have is No Travel! It also depends on which visas youare bridging fro and to - for instance, someone bridging from a tourist visa to a spouse visa has full working rights, Bridging from tourist to skills you cannot work at all. However both are Bridging Visa A. Edited March 1, 2018 by Nemesis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welder85 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Tourist to Skilled...NO WORK RESTRICTIONS. As i previously mentioned, only restriction is NO TRAVEL. Not only does it clearly state that on my visa, I confirmed it with my agent and I also double-triple checked online and have read the same statement on various websites. The only bridging visa to have NO restrictions are BVA going onto 189, 190 and 489 Skilled. The are work rights on other visas but will be restricted (working hol to 457 for instance has only 6 months work). I can't comment 100% but as I knew someone who went from tourist to spouse and had no work rights whatsoever in 2014/15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current rules state that tourist to Spouse bridging will have no work restrictions, but tourist to skilled one would need to apply for the work restrictin to be lifted. If you curently have no work restrictions on a BVA from toruist to skilled, you are VERY lucky. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
