Visa subclass stream Tourist
The applicant's claims
The applicant has applied for the grant of a Visitor visa (subclass 600) to visit Australia for a
temporary stay.
Information and evidence considered
I am a delegated decision maker under section 65 of the Migration Act 1958. In reaching my
decision, I have considered the following:
● relevant legislation contained in the Migration Act and Migration Regulations 1994
● information contained in the Department's Procedural Instructions
● documents and information provided by the applicant(s)
● relevant information held on Departmental files.
Findings
On the basis of all the information available to me, including the documents and information
the applicant provided, I find that the criteria for the grant of a Visitor (Tourist) visa in the
Tourist stream are not satisfied.
Reasons
I have assessed the application and the reasons for my decision are detailed below.
An application for a Visitor (Tourist) visa in the Tourist stream has been made by the
applicant.

A visa cannot be granted unless the relevant criteria specified in the Migration Act and the
Migration Regulations are satisfied.
In this case, I am not satisfied that clause 600.211 in Schedule 2 of the Migration
Regulations is satisfied. This clause provides that:
600.211
The applicant genuinely intends to stay temporarily in Australia for the purpose for which the visa is
granted, having regard to:
(a) whether the applicant has complied substantially with the conditions to which the last
substantive visa, or any subsequent bridging visa, held by the applicant was subject; and
(b) whether the applicant intends to comply with the conditions to which the Subclass 600
visa would be subject; and
(c) any other relevant matter.
Under policy when considering “any other relevant matter”, decision makers may take
into account a wide range of considerations to determine whether an applicant genuinely
intends a temporary stay in Australia. This may include, but is not limited to, the applicant’s
employment, economic and family circumstances, their credibility, the claimed purpose and
period of stay, and the applicant’s previous travel history.
My decision is based on the following factors
The applicant claims to travel to Australia for tourism
In assessing these criteria, I have taken into account the information provided by the
applicant in their visa application form and the supporting documents. I find that the
information provided is not sufficient to satisfy me of their genuine temporary stay intention,
and the applicant has not demonstrated that they have sufficiently strong commitments in
India that would be an incentive for them to return to India.
Applicant claims to be employed with Amrutha Castle. In support of the application, applicant
has provided income documents, financial documents, employment documents and other
supporting documents.
More specifically, I have considered their economic circumstances and find that their claimed
income as per the income documents cannot be considered significant in the context of
overall economic/employment conditions in India. I further note that the applicant has not
provided evidence of owning a property or other significant assets in their home country due
to which I am unable to determine their overall personal circumstances in India. As such, I
do not consider that the applicant has strong incentives to return to India at the end of their
proposed stay in Australia.
After considering the information provided, I am not satisfied that the applicant genuinely
intends to stay temporarily in Australia for the purposes set out above.
Therefore, I am not satisfied that the applicant meets the relevant criteria in clause 600.211
in Schedule 2 of the Migration Regulations.

Decision
As clause 600.211 is not satisfied, I find the criteria for the grant of a Visitor (Tourist) visa in
the Tourist stream are not satisfied. Therefore, I refuse the application by the applicant for a
Visitor (Tourist) visa in the Tourist stream.
Yours sincerely
