VivianW 0 Posted November 21, 2020 Hello, I need advise for visa and leaving country and waiting offshore. I am currently holding a 457 visa which will expiry 2021, occupation: accountant, location Perth. I have applied 190 visa in June 2020, the bridging visa is not active as my current 457 visa still valid. For this situation, can I leave Australia on my 457 visa or do I have to cancel 457 visa first and apply a bridging visa to leave the country? Can I also waiting for 190 visa grant offshore? Thank you very much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you very much! This is a more complex question that it seems. If your 457 is cancelled, your bridging visa will be cancelled as well. I suggest getting some professional advice to understand how all this works. 1 ____________________________________________________________________ Paul Hand Registered Migration Agent, MARN 1801974 SunCoast Migration Ltd All comments are general in nature and do not constitute legal or migration advice.
