Amaraweera Vidana Kankanamge (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The applicant, Amaraweera Vidana Kankanamge, sought review of a decision concerning his eligibility for the visa.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had provided sufficient evidence of adequate health insurance, a requirement for the grant of a Subclass 500 visa under clause 500.215 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.

The Tribunal noted that the applicant had subsequently provided documentation demonstrating that he now possessed adequate health insurance. In light of this new evidence, the Tribunal was satisfied that the health insurance criterion was met. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, directing that the applicant be found to meet the relevant visa criterion.
