Jungsanguansit (Migration)

The applicant, Jungsanguansit, sought review of a decision concerning their Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa. The dispute centred on whether the Administrative Appeals Tribunal had jurisdiction to hear the applicant's review application, given their status at the time of filing. The decision was made by Hugh Sanderson, a Member of the Tribunal.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant was within the "migration zone" as defined by the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth) at the time they filed their application for review. This determination was crucial for establishing the Tribunal's jurisdiction under section 347 of the Act.

The Tribunal found that the Department's movement records indicated the applicant had departed Australia on 3 January 2020 and was therefore not in the migration zone when the review application was lodged. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that the application for review was not properly made under section 347 of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth).

As a result of this finding, the Tribunal determined that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the applicant's matter.
