Augustine (Migration)

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

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had made adequate arrangements for health insurance for the relevant period of their stay in Australia, as required by clause 500.215 of Schedule 2 to the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth).

The Tribunal noted that new evidence had been provided by the applicant, including proof of overseas student health cover with an expiry date of 29 September 2018 and confirmation of enrolment in a Bachelor of Audio (Studio Production) course due to complete on 24 August 2018. Based on 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 meets the specified criterion.
