Naim (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, Subclass 500. The applicant sought review of a decision concerning the requirement for overseas student health cover.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had satisfied the health insurance criterion for the Subclass 500 visa. This involved assessing the validity and adequacy of the overseas student health cover provided by the applicant.

The Tribunal was presented with a certificate of Overseas Student Health Cover dated 13 April 2018, which was valid from 25 April 2018 until 15 March 2019. In light of this new evidence, the Tribunal was satisfied that the criterion had been met. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that the matter should be remitted for reconsideration. The Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration with the direction that the applicant meets the criteria under cl.500.215 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.
