Answer 1
Issue
1) Is Larrel entitled to merits review?
2) Is the merit reviewer able to consider information not provided to the Immigration
Department?
Relevant Legal Principle
The procedure to review the Protection Visa refusal decision depends on the time and the
manner in which the applicant has entered into the country1. In case, the applicant has arrived in
the country illegally by boat on or after 13 August 2012, but prior to January 1, 2014 and the
applicant was not taken to any regional processing country, the application might have been
processed under the Fast Track Assessment process. The Migration and Refugee Division of
the Administrative Appeals Tribunal does not review the visa refusal decision of any fast track
applicant but the General Division of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal [AAT] may review
some of the decisions2.
An applicant shall not be eligible for a review under the following circumstances:
i. the applicant have previously entered into Australia and his protection visa application
was either cancelled or withdrawn while he was in Australia;
ii. the applicant have access to a safe third country from which he or she can seek protection
or the applicant is a national of two or more countries;
iii. the applicant failed to establish his claims for protection;
