TOUTAI (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for an Aged Parent (Residence) (Class BP) visa, Subclass 804, made by the applicants. The central issue revolved around the Assurance of Support, which had been accepted by Centrelink.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether the applicants met the criteria for the Subclass 804 visa, specifically in relation to clause 804.224 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.

The Tribunal found that it was able to reach a decision in favour of the applicants without holding a hearing, pursuant to section 360(2)(a) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). The Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration with a direction that the first applicant meets the specified visa criteria.
