Liu (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The applicant, Ms Liu, sought review of a decision that she did not meet the genuine temporary entrant (GTE) criterion for the visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether Ms Liu satisfied the genuine temporary entrant requirement, as stipulated by cl.500.212(a) of Schedule 2 to the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth). This involved assessing the documentary evidence provided by the applicant concerning her study history, financial circumstances, and business plan.

The Tribunal found that new evidence had been provided by the applicant. Based on this new evidence, the Tribunal was satisfied that the GTE criterion was met. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, with a direction that the applicant meets the relevant criteria for the Subclass 500 visa.
