Rani (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, subclass 500, made by an applicant whose application had been refused. The core of the dispute concerned whether the applicant met the genuine temporary entrant criterion for the visa.

The Tribunal was required to determine if the applicant satisfied the genuine temporary entrant requirement, specifically in light of evidence that the applicant was not currently studying and lacked a current confirmation of enrolment.

The Member of the Tribunal, Amanda Pearson, affirmed the decision under review based on the evidence presented. The reasoning for this affirmation was that the applicant did not meet the genuine temporary entrant criterion, as evidenced by the lack of current study and enrolment. Consequently, the Tribunal affirmed the decision not to grant the applicant a student visa.
