Luangjan (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application by Luangjan for a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The dispute concerned whether Luangjan met the requirements for this visa, specifically in relation to Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether Luangjan had provided sufficient evidence to satisfy the OSHC requirement for her intended stay in Australia, as stipulated by the relevant regulations.

The Tribunal's reasoning was based on new evidence presented by Luangjan. This evidence satisfied the Tribunal that she had secured adequate OSHC for the duration of her proposed studies. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that this criterion for the Subclass 500 visa was met.

As a result of this finding, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, directing that Luangjan be taken to meet the OSHC criterion under cl. 500.215 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.
