   (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        (vi)   if the application is withdrawn-on that withdrawal; or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.
