Pinto Faria (Migration)

This matter concerned an application for a Temporary Business Entry (Class UC) Subclass 457 (Temporary Work (Skilled)) visa by Mr Pinto Faria. The application was before the Tribunal for review.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant met the requirements of clause 457.223(4)(a) of the Regulations, which relates to the criteria for a standard business sponsor.

The Tribunal found that the requirements of clause 457.223(4)(a) were met. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for the visa to the Minister for reconsideration, with a direction that the applicant satisfies this specific criterion. The Minister is to consider the remaining criteria for a Subclass 457 visa.
