Section 48(1)(b)(i) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) requires that the non-citizen had knowledge of the earlier visa application — a valid application made on behalf of a minor without their knowledge does not constitute a visa 'for which the non-citizen had applied'. The question of knowledge is not determined solely by reference to minority or legal capacity; a 17-year-old may have 'applied' for a visa within the meaning of s 48 even if the application was made on their behalf. The validity of a visa application under s 46 is an objective question for the Court, not an administrative decision.
