KRISHNAPPA (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review concerning a Visitor (Class FA) visa, Subclass 600. The applicant, Mr Krishnappa, sought review of a decision related to this visa.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to hear the application for review. This question hinged on whether the application for review itself was validly made, specifically in relation to the payment of the applicable application fee.

The Tribunal determined that no payment of the application fee had been received. As the prescribed period for making the application had concluded on 10 August 2018, the Tribunal found that the application for review was not valid. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to proceed with the matter.
