Hi po! Question lang sa pre-invite declaration, may field kasi na Australia Visa held. Bale I had a tourist visa before (2020) kaso di na inaaccept yung old visa as you can see

Ilalagay ko pa rin bang I had a visitor visa (600) and leave the date of expiry blank? or leave both fields blank? thanks!
