Request for an advise vs For some advice

Both phrases are not correct. The correct forms are 'request for advice' or 'ask for advice'. 'Request for an advise' is incorrect because 'advise' is a verb, while 'advice' is the noun form. 'For some advice' is closer to the correct form but still needs the article 'an' before 'advice'.
