Your bridging visa will usually have the same work rights and conditions as your previous visa. For example, if you hold a working holiday visa and apply for a student visa, you will have the same work rights on the bridging visa as your working holiday visa – Full work rights. However, if you hold a visitor visa and you apply for a student visa, you will have the same work rights on the bridging visa as your visitor visa – no work rights. Please note, if you apply for a permanent visa, you will usually have full work rights on the bridging visa (regardless of what visa you apply with).
