Curated answer for the Skilled Independent visa room VEVO only reports a visa that is in effect. A bridging visa can have been granted while a substantive visa is still current, so the grant letter and the visa currently shown in VEVO can refer to different stages. Source: Home Affairs: Check visa details and conditions. General information; no lawyer or registered migration agent has reviewed this editorial answer.
