Labour (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Regional Employer Nomination (Permanent) visa (Subclass 187). The applicant sought review of a decision concerning their eligibility for this visa, which typically requires a standard business sponsor. The core of the dispute revolved around the approval of a standard business sponsorship for the proposed employing company.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether the applicant met the criteria for a Subclass 187 visa, specifically in relation to the sponsorship requirements. This involved assessing the validity and approval of the standard business sponsorship for the employing entity.

The Tribunal concluded that the matter should be remitted for reconsideration. It directed that the applicant meets the criteria specified in clause 187.223 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations. The Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration with this specific direction.
