The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The applicant sought review of a decision concerning their eligibility for the visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant met the health insurance requirements for a Subclass 500 visa, specifically criterion cl.500.215 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.

The Tribunal received a Verification Letter of Overseas Student Health Cover from Bupa Australia, dated 7 May 2018, confirming coverage for the period 17 November 2017 to 20 December 2019. In light of this new evidence, the Tribunal was satisfied that the health insurance criterion was met.

Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, with the direction that the applicant meets the specified criterion for the Subclass 500 visa.
