1809456 (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered the application of a person seeking a Bridging E (Class WE) visa, subclass 050 (Bridging (General)). The applicant had a history of non-compliance with visa conditions, which formed the central dispute in the proceedings.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant would abide by the conditions of a future visa, given their past conduct. This involved assessing the applicant's financial support and the appropriateness of various conditions, including a significant security bond, that might be imposed on the visa.

The Tribunal's reasoning focused on the applicant's past non-compliance and the need to be satisfied that future compliance was likely. It considered the available financial support and the conditions that would be necessary to mitigate risks. Ultimately, the Tribunal found that it could not be satisfied on the evidence before it and remitted the decision for reconsideration.
