Bridging Visa D
A temporary visa known as BVD, subclass 041, is intended for people who are in Australia illegally and must stay there while they settle their immigration-related issues. It is usually granted to people whose visas have expired or whose immigration status is still open and who require a legal means of remaining in Australia while they await more processing or a decision on their case.
For people who don't fit the requirements for other bridging visas, such as the bridging visa A, B, or C, this visa is frequently considered a last choice. It grants you legal status as you prepare to leave, deal with visa problems, or seek for a new visa.
