Aragao De Jesus (Migration)

The applicant, Aragao De Jesus, sought review of a decision concerning a Visitor (Class FA) visa, Subclass 600. The dispute before the Tribunal centred on whether the applicable fee for the application had been paid.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to hear the applicant's case, given the non-payment of the required fee.

The Tribunal determined that it lacked jurisdiction because the applicable fee for the application had not been paid. This failure to pay the fee was a fundamental impediment to the Tribunal's ability to consider the merits of the application for review. Consequently, the Tribunal found it unnecessary to consider other potential issues raised regarding the validity of the application.

The Tribunal concluded that it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
