The person in question made an application for a study visa in September 2003. The application was refused because it had not been established, on the basis of the documentation supplied to my Department, that the applicant would observe the conditions of the visa. In particular, it was felt that the applicant had not displayed sufficient evidence of his obligations to return home following his proposed course of study. An appeal against the refusal of the application was received, however the visa appeals officer, having re-examined the application, upheld the original decision to refuse the application. It is open to the applicant to make a fresh application with up to date supporting documentation and the matter will be considered anew.
