DIBP clarify Bridging Visa A holders cannot ‘re-activate’ on return

The Department of Home Affairs has clarified that Bridging Visa A holders who depart Australia cannot have their Bridging Visa ‘re-activated’ on return.

This may cause issues for employees who need to travel internationally while waiting for a decision on a visa application. Employers need to ensure that Bridging Visa A holders obtain a Bridging Visa B before they depart Australia.
