Purpose

Who lodges it
The applicant seeking the bridging visa, or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
When it is used
Used when a person in Australia cannot make a valid substantive visa application, or cannot or does not wish to make one, and needs short-term lawful status; the visa carries a no-work condition and may require attendance at an interview.
