Hello!

My girlfriend has applied for her partner visa and is on a Bridging Visa A (BVA). We know that to travel, we need a Bridging Visa B (BVB).

We've booked a couple of holidays (couldn't resist the cheap flights) for late March (leaving the 19th) and late May (returning on June 2nd).

1) I understand that a BVB is likely to be granted for 3 months. If so, does that allow two trips to be taken - that is, two separate re-entries to Australia - on the same BVB?

2) Does the BVB kick in when you leave Australia, when you submit your application, or when it is granted? I need to work out when the best time to apply is

Many thanks to anyone who can assist!

When you apply for the BVB you tell the Department when you are travelling. You submit a letter telling them when you wish to travel an why. There is a good chance they will grant a BVB covering both holidays.
