The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The applicant sought review of a decision not to grant this visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant met the criteria for a genuine temporary entrant for the Subclass 500 visa. This included assessing whether the applicant was enrolled in an approved course of study.

The Tribunal found that there was no evidence of the applicant's enrolment in an approved course of study. Furthermore, the applicant had declined an invitation to a hearing. Based on these findings, the Tribunal concluded that the applicant did not meet the criteria for the visa.

Accordingly, the Tribunal affirmed the decision not to grant the applicant a Subclass 500 (Student) visa.
