Bridging Visa C
A temporary visa known as the Bridging Visa C (BVC), subclass 030, is given to migrants in Australia who need to regularise their immigration status. It permits individuals to stay in Australia legally without a valid visa while they await the decision of their visa application. People who have overstayed their visa or entered Australia without a visa, frequently use this visa, which allows them to settle their immigration issues without being penalised.
