Singh (Migration)

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

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had made adequate arrangements for health insurance for the relevant period of his proposed stay in Australia, as required by clause 500.215 of Schedule 2 to the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth).

The Tribunal's decision was influenced by new evidence submitted by the applicant. Based on this new evidence, the Tribunal was satisfied that the criterion regarding health insurance was met. Consequently, the Tribunal determined that the matter should be remitted for reconsideration.

The Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration with a direction that the applicant meets the criterion specified in cl.500.215 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.
