No looking back I saw PR issues and made an assumption. Yes I'm a registered Migration agent

Ah I see I read this incorrectly and assumed PR issues were from time in Australia rather than in Phillipines. My assumption had red flags all over it!

Thanks @ali yes I am, have added the signature and appreciate you drawing this my attention. Found this forum by chance as it is part of a course I am doing to visit some forums and I was getting worried reading some posts haha - I've just replied to another one. Guess that's the thing with the internet - sooooo much information.

It sounds like there are quite a few aspects to your situation that need to be addressed in any application. Similarly, you mentioned having issues getting your PR previously. It would be important to have someone look at your whole immigration history and situation to give you sound advice in this situation and to minimise any extra delays you could face. I worry that getting advice on applying for a tourist visa and how to do that on this forum will give a lot of differing opinions that may just confuse further.

I have just joined this forum and am agreeing that there is some really poor advice being shared. Use an agent as in this case too many kids involved for any small mistake and as wrussell stated it is relatively straightforward when done properly.

Just in response to the initial questions by FletcherFlether. I have read through some of the answers given and would proceed with caution as many are incorrect. A British citizen can get an ETA to enter Australia as a tourist and can apply for another visa after this - as there is no 'No Further Stay' condition attached. This is actually quite a common thing to happen.

The form 424A for FOI request (immigration related) asks specifically what you want released.
