Deo (Migration)

This matter concerned an application for review of a decision relating to a Subclass 600 (Visitor) visa. The applicant, Deo, sought review of a decision concerning their Visitor (Class FA) visa application.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to hear the application for review, given that the prescribed fee for the application had not been paid.

The Tribunal, constituted by Member Tania Flood, reasoned that the non-payment of the prescribed fee, in the absence of any determination or request for reduction of that fee, rendered the application for review invalid. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to proceed with the matter.

The Tribunal therefore determined that it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
