When you lodge your 820 application, you will receive an acknowledgement letter and a bridging visa. However the bridging visa doesn't take effect until the current visa expires. So you remain on the WHV for 12 months and the bridging visa takes effect immediately after.
Switching from WHV to De Facto
Hi Guys,
I am entering Aus on 5th April on WHV and joining my Aussie partner who I have been with for 2 years. I am going to apply for De Facto about 3 months after I get there to demonstrate some time of living together.
My question is, when I apply for De Facto will I get any full working rights once I have submitted application and it is under consideration?
Or will I only gain the full working rights when the bridging visa kicks in at the end of WHV?
Is there any way the WHV can be over-ridden by De Facto?
My reason for asking is because I work in Banking Sales and being restricted to the 6 month per employer is going to mean I will struggle to get a job for such a short period of time with a Bank. Don't really think they will want to take someone on, train them, give them a portfolio only for me to leave a few months later.
Thank you!
