Chung (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review concerning a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa. The applicant sought to challenge a decision related to their visa application.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to hear the application for review. This question arose due to an alleged failure to pay the prescribed fee for the application.

The Tribunal determined that the application for review was not validly made because the prescribed fee had not been paid. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked the necessary jurisdiction to proceed with the review of the visa decision. The Tribunal therefore dismissed the application for review.
