Subclass 041 — Bridging Visa D (BVD) — Non-Applicant — Australia — immi.wiki
Overview
The Subclass 041 Bridging Visa D (BVD) — Non-Applicant is a short-term bridging visa for persons who are in Australia but are not in a position to lodge a valid substantive visa application. It is distinct from the Subclass 040 BVD (for prospective applicants) in that it applies to persons who cannot currently make a valid application — for example, a person whose circumstances prevent them from being eligible to apply for a substantive visa at that time.
The Subclass 041 carries both condition 8101 (no work) and condition 8401 (must attend interview when required by the Department). The 8401 condition reflects the Department's ongoing monitoring obligations over the person's status.
Like the Subclass 040, the Subclass 041 BVD is an uncommon visa used in limited and specific circumstances. It is not a general-purpose stay visa.
Eligibility
The Subclass 041 is a discretionary grant by the Department in circumstances where a person in Australia cannot currently lodge a valid substantive visa application. Persons in this situation should seek advice from the Department or a registered migration agent about their options.
Application process
The Subclass 041 is applied for using Form 1007 (Application for a Bridging visa D). For current guidance and circumstances in which this visa is available, refer to the DHA visa listing.

The Subclass 041 carries:
- Condition 8101 — no work permitted
