SINGH (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The applicant, Mr. Singh, had provided an Overseas Student Health Insurance policy document to the Tribunal on 6 November 2019, which was valid from 11 April 2016 to 20 August 2021.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant met the health insurance requirements for the Subclass 500 visa, specifically criterion cl.500.215 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.

The Tribunal was satisfied that the newly submitted health insurance policy document demonstrated that the applicant met the relevant criterion. 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 specified criteria for the visa.
