Hunkrathok (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review concerning the cancellation of a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, subclass 500. The applicant sought review of the decision to cancel their visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to consider the application for review, given that the application was lodged out of time and the prescribed fee had not been paid.

The Tribunal determined that the application for review was not received until 15 March 2024. As this date was beyond the statutory time limit for lodging such an application, the Tribunal concluded that the application had not been made in accordance with the relevant legislative requirements. Consequently, the Tribunal found that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter.

The Tribunal made no order other than to state that it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
