Form 1006 - Complete this form if you are seeking permission to travel, and you are in Australia and already hold a Bridging visa A (BVA) or a Bridging visa B (BVB) and you have applied for a substantive visa that can be granted while you are in Australia.
Purpose
This form is used to apply for a Bridging visa B, which allows a person to leave and re-enter Australia while their substantive visa application or review is still being decided. It seeks permission to travel that an ordinary bridging visa does not provide.
