Cadavid Bastias (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review by Cadavid Bastias concerning a Temporary Activity (Class GG) visa. The core of the dispute revolved around whether the application for review had been lodged within the time prescribed by the relevant legislation.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to hear the application for review. This question turned on whether the application for review was made in accordance with the legislative time limits.

The Tribunal found that the application for review was received on 7 February 2024. As this date fell outside the statutory time limit for lodging such an application, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the matter. Consequently, the Tribunal made no orders on the merits of the visa application itself.
