Prior To One Month Travelers Need To Apply For Australia Bridging Visa

09 Oct 2018

Travelers are being recommended to apply for Bridging Visa B minimum 3-4 weeks prior to travel after the Immigration Department recently confirmed that it will no hard allow face-to-face appeals.

As per the statement announced by the Home Affairs Department, it is in the process of modifying its online way to a self-serve basis for the majority of its’ services.

Reforms From the Last Quarter of 2018

From the last quarter 2018 onwards, the immigration services will now only provide in-person services to applicants of visa or businesses that have obtained a letter from the Department explicitly inviting them to serve an in-person meeting.

The high number of visa applications will now require to be lodged by candidates either by post or online, as the Department assumes that inquiries will be fixed more immediately via its’ latest website.

However, the  Immigration Department has also recognized that more complicated visa and citizenship issues may still need face-to-face attention, and will remain to see candidates by appointment if needed.

The Australia Immigration Department offices will remain to present the subsequent in-person services for customers:

• Collection of Biometrics
• Interviews for specific visa subclasses
• Resolution Status
• Citizenship tests by meeting

As a result, foreign travelers have also been encouraged to apply for Bridging Visa B minimum 3-4 weeks before travel.

This is because the suspension of face-to-face meetings is required to improve wait times, as well as restricting the ability of candidates to direct lodgement problems in a timely fashion.
