What does a bridging visa cost in Australia? Most bridging visas are free with your main application. Where fees do apply, and who should get help. Call BYD Education & Immigration Consultants.
For most people the answer is a relief: a bridging visa usually costs nothing extra. The common Bridging Visa A (BVA), which is granted automatically when you lodge a valid application for a new substantive visa while you’re onshore, carries no separate government application charge. You’ve already paid the charge for your main visa, and the bridging visa comes with it so you can stay lawfully while that application is decided. The main place a fee does appear is the Bridging Visa B (BVB), which lets you leave and re-enter Australia while your substantive visa is being processed. That one has its own government application charge. Beyond government charges, the only other cost most people meet is professional fees if they ask a registered migration agent to help, and incidental costs like a medical or police check if the department asks for them.
This guide is general information to help you get your bearings. Migration and citizenship rules — and especially fees and processing times — change often, so the smartest next step is a quick, honest read on your own situation. Our registered migration agent and qualified education consultant work under one roof, so your visa and study plans line up.
