11 Visa period etc of bridging visa taken to have been granted under regulation 10
(1) The visa period of a bridging visa that a non-citizen is taken to have been granted under regulation 10 starts on 1 September 1994 and ends:
(a) if his or her primary application was made before 19 December 1989:
(i) if that application is an application in respect of which an application for reconsideration could be made under regulation 173A of the Migration (1989) Regulations or regulation 7.8 of the Migration (1993) Regulations:
(A) 28 days after the Minister notifies him or her of a decision on the primary application; or
(B) if the non-citizen has applied or applies for reconsideration under either of those regulations, within the time allowed to do so — 28 days after the Minister notifies the non-citizen of the Minister’s decision following the reconsideration; or
(ii) if that application is not an application in respect of which an application for reconsideration could be made under regulation 173A of the Migration (1989) Regulations or regulation 7.8 of the Migration (1993) Regulations — 28 days after the Minister notifies him or her of a decision on the primary application; or
(iii) if the visa is a bridging visa A or B — on cancellation of a substantive visa held by the non-citizen; or
(iv) on the grant of another bridging visa to the non-citizen in respect of that application; or
(v) on the grant of a transitional visa to the non-citizen; or
(vi) if the application is withdrawn — on that withdrawal; or
(b) in any other case — as provided under the amended Act and the Migration Regulations in respect of a bridging visa of the class that the non-citizen is taken to hold.
(2) A bridging visa B that a non-citizen is taken to have been granted under regulation 10 permits him or her to travel to and enter Australia during the period during which the visa referred to in paragraph 10 (2) (b) would have permitted him or her to do so.
