BRIDGING (GENERAL) VISA – SATISFACTION OF CRITERIA BY CERTAIN APPLICANTS

(PARAGRAPH 050.212(8)(b)(ii))

 

  1. This Instrument is made under paragraph 050.212(8)(b)(ii) of the Migration Regulations 1994 ("the Regulations") and revokes the Instrument IMMI 06/021 which is made under that paragraph.
  2. An applicant meets the criteria for a Bridging (General) visa if, among other things, the applicant is within a class of persons specified under paragraph 050.212(8)(b)(ii) by instrument in writing, and the Minister is satisfied that the applicant has a compelling need to work.
  3. The Instrument IMMI 06/021, specifying a class of persons for the purpose of paragraph 050.212(8)(b)(ii) of the Regulations signed on 21 December 2006, is being revoked as a consequence of amendments to the Migration Regulations to abolish the requirement that applicants who do not lodge their application for a protection visa within 45 days of arriving in Australia are not permitted to work on their bridging visa. 
  4. This Instrument, IMMI 09/070, commences on 30 June 2009 at 23:59, and does not apply in relation to an application for a bridging visa made on or before 23:59 on 30 June 2009.
