Dates of Previous Visits

[GraceKennedy]

I'm filling in the application form for 136 and am having trouble with the section where you have to say whether you've had any previous visas for Australia. Now I've read in other threads that it's OK to just put ETA if you don't know the visa number. What about if you can't remember the dates accurately. I went for a holiday almost ten years ago and haven't got that passport anymore so cannot remember exactly when I was there.

Should I just estimate (I know it was just before my birthday but can't remember the exact date)? Or does anyone know if there is a database held somewhere that I could check? Thanks

Hi,
my wife travelled to oz about twenty years ago. We are in the same boat as you regarding the exact details of her old visa so I rang the processing center in Adelade (at about 6am uk time) and the guy i spoke to said it was not a problem as they could find details themselves.Hope this helps.
We have just got our TRA back as passed so now it starts to get serious!!!!
good luck
Steve
