Can a Bridging Visa E (BVE) be Cancelled? What are My Options After Cancellation?
The Bridging Visa E (BVE) (Subclass 050) is often a last resort for many in Australia who are in the process of resolving their immigration status. You may wonder if a BVE can be cancelled. We outlined the circumstances under which this may occur and what the consequences are.
What is a Bridging Visa E (BVE) (Subclass 050)?
A BVE allows individuals to remain in Australia lawfully while planning to depart or while their immigration matter is being resolved. This is a temporary visa and is typically granted under specific conditions, usually for a limited period.
Can a Bridging Visa E be Cancelled?
Short answer, yes, a BVE can be cancelled under various circumstances, these may include:
If you fail to comply with the BVE conditions, such as working without the necessary work rights or not reporting to immigration, your visa may be cancelled.
Significant changes in your circumstances, such as new developments of character issues, may lead to cancellation.
Suppose your pending substantive visa has been refused while you are holding a BVE. Your current BVE may cease within a specific time. Hence, it is essential to take action as soon as you discover your visa refusal with the help of an Accredited Specialist in Immigration Law.
What are My Options After Cancellation?
You may have a few options that may be available to you if there is a BVE cancellation, depending on your circumstances:
You can decide to depart Australia immediately. Failure to do so can lead to further complications, including detention or deportation.
Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for a limited selection of visa types. If you were in the process of resolving your immigration status, engage with an Accredited Specialist in Immigration Law for alternative options.
If you believe the cancellation was unjust, you may have the option to appeal through the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) for a merits review.
What Are the Consequences of A BVE Cancellation?
You may be an unlawful non-citizen, as you are not holding a valid visa. Due to that immigration status, you may face several visa issues, such as:
Not eligible to apply for most visa subclasses
A ban on re-entering Australia for a specific period
Future visa applications may be affected
You may be detained in a detention centre
May lose work permission to work legally in Australia
