Understanding when and how to apply for bridging visas is essential, and seeking professional assistance can make the process smoother and more manageable. A bridging visa is a temporary visa that the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) might grant in certain circumstances.
In Australia, a partner visa offers a pathway for individuals to join or remain with their partners and establish a life together in Australia. Obtaining a partner visa opens up numerous opportunities.
In certain situations, it is possible to obtain a migration health waiver, which allows individuals who fail the health requirement to still obtain a visa. A migration health waiver can be requested on the basis that there are compelling and compassionate circumstances.
