Ong (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The applicant sought review of a decision concerning their eligibility for the visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had provided sufficient evidence of adequate health insurance, a criterion required for the grant of a Subclass 500 visa under clause 500.215 of Schedule 2 to the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth).

The Tribunal noted that the applicant had subsequently provided documentation demonstrating they now held adequate health insurance. Based on this new evidence, the Tribunal was satisfied that the criterion was met. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, directing that the applicant be taken to meet the health insurance criterion.
