Tobiasson (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered the case of Tobiasson, an applicant for a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The dispute concerned whether the applicant had satisfied the health insurance requirements stipulated by the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth) for this visa subclass.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was to determine if the applicant had provided sufficient evidence to demonstrate that they had made appropriate arrangements for overseas student health insurance, as required by clause 500.215 of Schedule 2 to the *Migration Regulations 1994*.

The Tribunal's reasoning was based on the receipt of a Policy Certificate of Overseas Student Cover in the applicant's name, valid from 14 July 2017 to 15 March 2018. This new evidence satisfied the Tribunal that the criterion regarding health insurance arrangements had been met. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that the matter should be remitted for reconsideration. The Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration with a direction that the applicant meets the criteria for a Subclass 500 visa, specifically referencing cl.500.215 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.
