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.
In assessing whether or not the applicant genuinely intends to stay temporarily in Australia,
I have taken into account information provided in the application, the applicant's immigration
history and compliance with previous visas. I have also taken into consideration any
supporting documents as well as the applicant's personal circumstances, commitments, and
incentive to return to their country of residence.
My decision is based on the following factors
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.
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. On balance, I find
that the applicant has not demonstrated sufficiently strong economic, family or other
commitments in India that would be sufficient incentive for the applicant to return to their
home country.
The applicant claims to be a self employed Agriculturist . I further note their financial and
other supporting documents.
More specifically, I have considered their economic circumstances and note that the
applicant has only provided a bank balance certificate as evidence of their financial capacity.
I have attached little weight to this document as evidence of their financial means, as on its
own, it does not sufficiently demonstrate any regular income or savings pattern and cannot
be considered as significant evidence of their overall financial situation. As such, I do not
consider that the applicant has strong employment or economic incentives to return 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
