根因分析
澳大利亚 ETA(601 子类)每次访问最多允许停留 90 天;过桥签证不能延长此期限,逾期居留会导致三年再入境禁令和可能的签证取消。
English
The Australian ETA (subclass 601) allows a maximum stay of 90 days per visit; a bridging visa cannot extend this, and overstaying results in a three-year re-entry ban and possible visa cancellation.

-
确保在 ETA 90 天停留期到期前离开澳大利亚。如需更长停留,请在旅行前申请访客签证(600 子类)或打工度假签证(417 子类),最长可停留 12 个月。
-
如果因紧急情况需要延长停留,请在签证到期前立即联系内政部申请访客签证延期(仅限特殊情况)。切勿逾期居留。
无效尝试
常见但无效的做法:
-
Apply for a bridging visa E (BVE) to stay while waiting for a substantive visa
95% 失败
Bridging visas are only granted to those who have lodged a valid substantive visa application before their current visa expires; they do not allow a stay beyond the ETA's 90-day limit without a pending application, and overstaying first invalidates the ETA.
-
Leave Australia and re-enter immediately to reset the 90-day clock
80% 失败
The ETA is for short-term tourism; re-entering immediately is considered a 'back-to-back' visa run, which immigration officers may refuse or treat as an attempt to circumvent the 90-day limit, leading to visa cancellation.
-
Pay a fine for overstay and it will be forgiven
90% 失败
Overstaying in Australia is a breach of visa conditions; it results in a three-year re-entry ban under section 235 of the Migration Act, not a fine, and may affect future visa applications.
