I am informed by the visa section of my Department that this application was refused on 5 February 2005. In assessing any visa application, the visa officer will consider various matters, including whether it is reasonable in all the circumstances to conclude that the applicant would fully honour the conditions of the visa, for example, it is unlikely that the applicant would overstay the length of time applied for. The application in question was refused because the visa officer could not reasonably be satisfied, on the basis of the documentation supplied to my Department, that the applicant would observe the conditions of the visa applied for. Each application may be appealed once. This appeal should be accompanied by any additional documentation that the applicant feels will address the reasons for refusal given by my Department.
