Ayodele (Migration)

This matter concerned an application for review of a decision by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) regarding a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The applicant sought to demonstrate that they had adequate health insurance, a requirement for the visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had provided sufficient evidence of adequate health insurance to satisfy the criterion stipulated in cl.500.215 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.

The Tribunal considered new documentation provided by the applicant, which evidenced that they now possessed adequate health insurance. Based on this new evidence, the Tribunal was satisfied that the criterion had been met. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, with the direction that the applicant meets the health insurance criterion.
