Guest ellie2 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hi All We are currently on a 165 visa and have just had our application accepted for the 893 and are awaiting a CO. We have just had a letter stating this and with the letter it states that we have been granted bridging visas A. Now it says these dont come into effect till our 165 visas expire which is on Dec 21st 2011. But it also says on form 1024i travel during the processing of an application: A bridging visa B is the only bridging visa which permits return to Australia. Do you know if we will be able to travel on our 165 or will we have the restrictions of the bridging visas issued, but not in effect till the expiry of the 165s. It is so very confusing. Have asked this question on a couple of other forums but the answers are not clear. Thankyou for your time. Christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PissLUR Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 your 165 visa allows you to "travel in and out of Australia any number of times as long as the visa is valid". so you can travel... and ignore the bridging visa A, because it is not in effect yet!.

Pumpkin Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 The answers on the other forum look perfectly clear to me. You are not on a brudging visa, you are still on your 165 visa and will be until December 2011. Therefore you do not need to worry about travel restrictions until December 2011 when your bridging visa kicks in. Edit: well two of the answers were clear on the other forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will stop worrying. Thanks again Christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
