64 Notice that visa application charge is payable
          (1) This section applies to a valid application for a visa if the Minister,
              after considering the application, has made an assessment that:
                (a) the health criteria for it (if any) have been satisfied; and
                (b) the other criteria for it, prescribed by this Act or the
                     regulations, have been satisfied.
          (2) If this section applies and an amount of visa application charge is
              unpaid, the Minister must give the applicant written notice stating
              that:
                (a) an amount of visa application charge is payable within the
                     prescribed period; and
                (b) subject to the regulations providing otherwise, a visa cannot
                     be granted unless that amount is paid; and
                (c) the Minister may refuse to grant the visa unless that amount
                     is paid within the prescribed period.
          (3) If, in accordance with the regulations, 2 or more non-citizens apply
              for a visa together, the Minister may give notices under this section
              in the same document.
