Renner (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application concerning a Temporary Business Entry (Class UC) visa, Subclass 457 (Temporary Work (Skilled)). The applicant sought review of a decision relating to their eligibility for this visa, with the nominated occupation being 'other sports coach or instructor'. The Tribunal's decision was made by Member Ian Berry.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the visa applicant met the requirements of subclause 457.223(4)(a) of Schedule 2 to the Migration Regulations. This subclause pertains to the criteria for a standard business sponsor and the approval of a nomination in relation to the applicant.

The Tribunal found that the nomination of the applicant as a sports coach by their employer, MRAL Pty Ltd, had been approved on 30 June 2022, and the applicant continued to be employed by the sponsor. Based on these findings, the Tribunal concluded that the matter should be remitted for reconsideration by the Minister. The Tribunal directed that the visa applicant meets the criteria specified in subclause 457.223(4)(a).
