Wu (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application by Wu concerning a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The dispute centred on whether the applicant had provided sufficient evidence of adequate health insurance as required by the relevant regulations.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was to determine if the applicant had satisfied the health insurance criterion for the visa. This involved assessing the documentation provided by the applicant to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection.

The Tribunal found that the applicant had subsequently provided documentation (DIBP Folio 9) demonstrating that he now possessed adequate health insurance. In light of this new evidence, the Tribunal was satisfied that the criterion had been met. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, directing that the applicant be taken to meet the criterion specified in cl.500.215 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.
