Hi fellow forum members,

My partner is in Aus on a 820 Onshore Partner Visa. Her Visitor Visa 600 got removed after she applied for a 820 onshore and she is on a BVA visa with work rights, she is trying to find work as of now...

However she might have to travel to India as her father is getting a minor surgery done and she wants to be with the family during that time in September.
But we are worried that she may lose her work rights on BVA as her BVB replaces her BVA.

Can anyone point us in the right direction please. Should we apply for BVB and also explain our situation so that we get BVB with work rights? Or will IMMI reinstate BVA after she returns?

Thank you in advance....

No, she'll still have work rights.

Also, the visitor visa wouldn't have been "removed" once the BVA was granted. The BVA doesn't go into effect until the current stay period on the visitor visa expires.

Thanks Skybluebrewer, her visitor visa has an expiry of Dec 2018, with 3 months stay after each visit. She entered Aus in Dec 2017 and after she applied 820 onshore. Her BVA only kicked in after her 3 months on the visitor visa expired in March. Does that mean her visitor visa kicks in should she reenter Aus on a BVB?

The previous comment was clarification on miscommunication. Distinguishing the difference between a BVA "granted" and "in effect". Disregard as it's not relevant.

If she's on the BVA, she needs a BVB to leave and reenter.

I'm still not clear on this. Can anyone please chime in. My partner who is already on bva after applying onshore partner visa 820. However my partner arrived here on a visitor visa 600 that has 3 months stay after each visit and expires Dec 2018. She got her bva after the visitor visa expired after three months when she landed in Aus and then applied for her onshore partner visa.
Should she travel on bvb and enter Oz again, does her work rights be removed by visitor visa becoming active again or bvb staying as it is without again moving to bva?

She will re-enter Australia on the BVB so there is no visitor visa again. Her BVB should have the same work rights as the BVA. She will remain on the BVB until the 820 is granted.

Just like that? Could you quote me the legislation your advice is based on?

This person no longer has a tourist visa, she is on a BVA with full work rights. She can simply apply for a BVB, which will also have full work rights.

Why would she waste money on a tourist visa application, which is likely to be refused? If it was granted, it would take away her work rights, so what is the point of doing that?
