 (a) the bridging visa application is taken to have been applied for because of the converted application; and
 (b) the bridging visa (if granted) has effect as if it were granted because of the converted application.
Note: This Act and the regulations would apply to a bridging visa to which subsection (6) or (7) applies, and to when the bridging visa would cease to have effect, in the same way as this Act and the regulations would apply in relation to any bridging visa.
 For example, such a bridging visa would generally cease to be in effect under section 82 if and when the substantive visa is granted because of the converted application.

Conversion regulation may affect accrued rights etc.
 (8) To avoid doubt:
 (a) subsection 12(2) of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003 does not apply in relation to the effect of a conversion regulation (including a conversion regulation enacted by the Parliament); and
 (b) subsection 7(2) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901, including that subsection as applied by section 13 of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003, does not apply in relation to the enactment of this section or the making of a conversion regulation (including a conversion regulation enacted by the Parliament).
