HAZARIKA (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The applicant sought review of a decision concerning the provision of evidence of adequate arrangements for health insurance.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had satisfied the criterion requiring evidence of adequate arrangements for health insurance, specifically as stipulated by cl.500.215 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.

The Tribunal's reasoning focused on the documentary evidence presented. Upon receiving copies of Certificates of Insurance for Overseas Student Health Cover issued by Allianz Global Assistance, valid for consecutive periods covering the applicant's intended stay, the Tribunal was satisfied that the health insurance criterion had been met. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, directing that the applicant met the relevant visa criterion.
