1337 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Hi Guys, I have got a technical query on the partner visa. My wife just got the visa visa subclass 600 for a duration of 1 year allowing multiple entries of 3 months stay each. We plan to lodge the partner visa onshore as soon she is here. My wife has enrolled into a master's program, thus we need the bridging visa for sure so that she could continue the porgam at the end of 3 months. However I wanted to find out whether the bridging visa (in lieu of partner visa) starts at the expiry of her 3 months stay or at the lapse of her visit visa after a year? Secondly what's the best timeframe to lodge the partner visa i.e few weeks before the end of 3 months stay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Why didn't you just apply for the partner visa offshore? Or a student visa? Are you sure she'll be allowed to study on the bridging visa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 The bridging visa will start when her current visa expires. So a year. Do not try to make it expire earlier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Paul, Appreciate your response as always. The holder will be onshore. We just want to make sure we do not end up in a tricky situation. Logically if there is partner application filed onshore the applicant is advised/supposed to not travel offshore hence I gather that the bridging should kickstart at the end of 3 months visit visa stay. I see that you're a registered immigration consultant - may I give you a quick call to discuss? If you could PM your contact deets.
