               (b) a person (the sponsored person) who was a primary sponsored person if
                    the last substantive visa held by the sponsored person was a Subclass 408
                    (Temporary Activity) visa.
          (2) The sponsor must ensure that the sponsored person undertakes the activity in
              relation to which the visa was granted.

              the following days:
                (a) the day on which the sponsored person is granted a further substantive visa
                    that:
                      (i) is a visa of a different subclass to the last substantive visa held by the
                          sponsored person; and
                     (ii) is in effect;
                (b) the day on which the primary sponsored person is granted a further
                    Subclass 408 (Temporary Activity) visa, if the sponsor is not a sponsor in
                    relation to that further visa;

                          substantive visa held by the primary sponsored person was the visa
                          referred to in subregulation (1)—the bridging visa has ceased to be in
                          effect.
