What are the advantages of applying for GSM visa 189 or 190 onshore compared to offshore? From my understanding, a visa application made onshore can be given for migration review tribunal when there is a rejection but offshore visa cannot be.

So would it be wise to actually go on a tourist visa to Australia and apply for the permanent visa from there so that this appeal option also might be availed if needed?

Also mostly for bridging visa, which is what I am doing. I am not sure if Tourist Visa will make the transition to bridging visa.
