Bridging E Visa
July 1, 1998
From 1 July 1998, Part 050 of Schedule 2 (as amended) to the migration regulations extends eligibility for the grant of Bridging Visa E to members of representative actions (or “class actions”) in the High Court or Federal Court seeking judicial review of decisions relating to substantive visas or of the validity of laws which affect their substantive immigration status.
Amendments to this visa subclass also impose a mandatory condition on BVEs granted to applicants for judicial review or persons seeking Ministerial intervention into a decision of a review officer, the Immigration Review Tribunal, the Refugee Review Tribunal or the Administrative Appeals Tribunal from engaging in employment in Australia.
