Bun (Migration)

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

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicants had provided sufficient evidence of adequate health insurance, as required by the relevant legislative criteria for a Subclass 500 visa.

The Tribunal determined that it was able to reach a favourable decision for the applicants based on the material before it, without the need for a hearing, pursuant to section 360(2)(a) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration with a direction that the first applicant met the criteria under clause 500.215 of Schedule 2 to the Migration Regulations 1994 (Cth).
