Use advise...to when the sentence is giving advice directly to someone or something. If you advise someone to do something, you tell them what you think they should do.
- I advise you to go home. (I am giving this advice directly to you.)
- Sam advised Sarah to sell her car. (Sam advised Sarah directly)
- The minister advised him to leave as soon as possible
Use advise that when the sentence is giving advice not directed at any particular person or thing.
- Experts advise that sunscreen should be reapplied on an hourly basis. (The experts are not giving this advice directly to people; the advice is being given to all of us.)
- Experts advise that investors sell their stock in the company. (The experts are not giving this advice directly to the investors; the advice is being given to all of us.)
