Migration Regulations 1994

For subsection 46(2) of the Act, a Bridging F (Class WF) visa is a prescribed class of visa.

Despite regulation 2.07 and Schedule 1, and as an alternative to item 1306 of Schedule 1, an application for a Bridging F (Class WF) visa is taken to have been validly made by a non‑citizen to whom subregulation 2.20(14) applies, or a non‑citizen to whom subregulation 2.20(15) applies regardless of whether the non‑citizen has been immigration cleared, if:

the non‑citizen has been given an invitation in writing by the Minister, by one of the methods specified in section 494B of the Act, to apply for the visa; and

the non‑citizen indicates in writing to Immigration, not later than 7 days after the non‑citizen is taken to have received that invitation, that he or she accepts the invitation.

See section 494C of the Act for when a person is taken to have received a document given by one of the methods specified in section 494B of the Act.
