HELP! Question partner visa 820 BVB

1610 Views 7 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Ranc
Hi everyone!

My partner and I (He is Australian and I am Dutch) are planning to apply for the partner visa 820 on shore soon.
Our only concern is that we have a holiday booked in a couple of months. This means I would need to apply for a BVB that allows me to leave the country. What if immigration does not grant the BVB on time? Would you recommend us to wait before applying for the partner visa?

Thank you in advance!

Once you have lodged a valid sc.820 visa application, a BVA will be granted automatically. The BVA will come into effect when your current visa ceases. You can apply for a BVB wether your BVA is in effect or not. If you leave and return while your tourist visa is still valid, it will trigger a new stay period on your return and the Bridging Visa will remain dormant until the tourist visa ceases.
