The best visa to get Australia PR is Subclass 189 (Permanent Skilled Independent Visa).
Subclass 189 is the best visa because it’s permanent as well as independent. This visa allows applicants to reside and work in any area of Australia on a permanent basis. It doesn’t matter if you were onshore or offshore when you applied or received a nomination. This visa is granted unconditionally.
This makes this visa the most competitive visa. Only certain professionals are allowed to apply for this visa. The occupation list (MLTSSL) eligible for this visa isn’t large too.
Prior to the pandemic the chance to be invited for this visa was hard. This was owing to the government’s decision to reduce the number of invitations for this visa. Currently, due to the pandemic, the number of invitations issued is even less.
Owing to this, competition for points arises. This is because the system first invites those with higher points so that the invitations are done before there are enough of them to invite people with fewer points. The fact is that there have been months where candidates with only 90 or 95 points have been invited.
Monthly invitations are issued on every 11th.
