Keetha (Migration)

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 had provided sufficient evidence of adequate arrangements for health insurance, as required by criterion cl.500.215 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.

The Tribunal was satisfied that the applicant had met the health insurance criterion upon receiving a Policy Certificate of Overseas Student Cover. This certificate confirmed that the applicant was insured for the relevant period. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, directing that the applicant be taken to meet the health insurance criterion.
