Since 24 October 2025, the Department of Home Affairs granted 132 Bridging Visa R (BVR) visas. Between 22 October 2025 and 30 November 2025, four BVR holders were transferred to Nauru under the Third Country Reception Arrangement—two involuntarily and two voluntarily. The disclosure notes a discrepancy with December 2025 Senate Estimates data, which reported five individuals transferred to Nauru by 30 November 2025. The document indicates internal clarification occurred regarding removal statistics, with the Acting Chief Superintendent of Removal Operations providing a breakdown excluding removals outside the specified timeframe. Additional information regarding Nauru Long Term Stay Visa applications, visa grants, and Australian Border Force detention procedures was withheld under section 47E(d) of the Freedom of Information Act 1982.
