Guerreiro Pereira (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered the application of Guerreiro Pereira for a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The core of the dispute concerned whether Mr. Pereira met the requirements for this visa, specifically the "genuine temporary entrant" criterion, and whether he was enrolled in an approved course at the time of the decision.

The Tribunal was required to determine if Mr. Pereira satisfied all the necessary criteria for the grant of a Subclass 500 visa. This involved assessing his eligibility as a genuine temporary entrant and his enrolment status in an approved course. The Tribunal also noted that Mr. Pereira did not claim to meet the criteria for a Subclass 590 (Student Guardian) visa.

The Tribunal found that the criteria for the grant of the Subclass 500 visa were not met. Consequently, the decision under review, which was the refusal to grant the visa, was affirmed.
