Choudhary (Migration)

In *Choudhary (Migration)*, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The applicant, Gagan Choudhary, had provided evidence of Overseas Student Health Coverage (OSHC) for the period of 13 August 2018 to 13 August 2019.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had satisfied the criteria for the Subclass 500 (Student) visa, specifically concerning the provision of OSHC. The Tribunal was required to determine if the evidence submitted met the requirements of Part 500 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.

The Tribunal found that the applicant had provided proof of OSHC. However, it noted that other criteria for the visa needed to be considered. Consequently, the Tribunal determined that the appropriate course of action was to remit the application for reconsideration by the Minister. The Tribunal directed that the applicant be considered to meet criterion cl.500.215 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.
