Jerono (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application by Jerono for a Medical Treatment (Visitor) (Class UB) visa, subclass 602. The applicant had previously been an unlawful non-citizen in Australia and provided limited medical documentation to support their application. The Tribunal also noted that the applicant did not respond to an invitation to provide further information.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant met the requirements for the grant of a Medical Treatment (Visitor) (Class UB) visa, subclass 602, specifically concerning the genuine temporary stay for the purpose of the visa. This involved assessing whether the applicant had discharged their responsibility to provide sufficient factual information to satisfy the criteria.

The Tribunal reasoned that the applicant bore the onus of supplying the necessary facts in the required detail to demonstrate that the visa criteria were met. Given the limited medical documentation provided and the lack of response to the invitation for further information, the Tribunal concluded that the applicant had failed to satisfy the requirements for the visa. The Tribunal applied the principles that an applicant must provide sufficient evidence to establish their case.

Consequently, the Tribunal affirmed the decision not to grant the applicant the Medical Treatment (Visitor) (Class UB) visa, subclass 602.
