Thirumalareddy (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Subclass 500 (Student) visa by Mr. Thirumalareddy. The core of the dispute concerned whether the applicant had provided sufficient evidence of adequate health insurance, a criterion stipulated by clause 500.215 of Schedule 2 to the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth).

The Tribunal was required to determine if the applicant had satisfied the health insurance requirement for the Subclass 500 visa. This involved assessing the evidence presented by the applicant, particularly in light of new information submitted during the review process.

The Tribunal's reasoning focused on the impact of the newly provided evidence. It found that this additional information satisfied the criterion regarding adequate health insurance. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that the matter should be remitted for reconsideration, with a direction that the applicant meets the relevant visa criterion. The Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, directing that the applicant meets the criterion specified in cl.500.215 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.
