2.25AB Grant of Bridging R (Class WR) visas to certain non-citizens without
         application
          (1) This regulation applies to a non-citizen who is an eligible non-citizen under
              subregulation 2.20(18) or (19).
          (2) Despite anything in Schedule 1 and Divisions 070.2 to 070.4 of Part 070 of
              Schedule 2, the Minister may grant the non-citizen a Bridging R (Class WR) visa
              if the Minister is satisfied that, at the time of decision, the non-citizen does not
              hold a substantive visa, a criminal justice visa or an enforcement visa.
               Note 1:   See Divisions 070.5 and 070.6 of Part 070 of Schedule 2 for when the visa is in effect
                         and the conditions to which it is subject.









               Note 2:   The Minister must not grant the non-citizen a visa under this subregulation while a
                         community safety order made in relation to the non-citizen is in force (see
                         paragraph 76AA(7)(b) of the Act).
