Between January 2022 and December 2025, the Department removed fewer than 5 South Sudanese nationals from Australia, with fewer than 5 having received prior protection findings and fewer than 5 having held humanitarian or protection visas. Bridging visa holders from Sudan and South Sudan increased significantly across most subclasses: Bridging Visa A (010) rose from 141 to 325 holders; Bridging Visa B (020) from 12 to 36; Bridging Visa C (030) from 30 to 31; Bridging Visa E (050/051) from 71 to 52; and Bridging Visa R (070) increased from zero to 47. Unlawful non-citizens (unvisaed individuals in detention) decreased from 91 to 39. As of 31 December 2025, of those assessed under NZYQ removal practicability criteria, 29 Sudanese and 13 South Sudanese nationals were assessed as affected by NZYQ constraints preventing detention, while 14 Sudanese and 4 South Sudanese were assessed as unaffected.
