TRAN (Migration)

This matter concerned an application for review of a decision relating to a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, Subclass 500 (Student). The applicant, Mr. Tran, sought review of a decision, but his application for review was lodged with the Tribunal on 8 January 2018.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to consider Mr. Tran's application for review, given that it was lodged out of time.

The Tribunal determined that the application for review was not made in accordance with the relevant legislative requirements because it was received by the Tribunal after the prescribed time limit. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter. The Tribunal therefore made no substantive decision on the merits of Mr. Tran's visa application.
