Australia PR Without a Job Offer

You do not need a job in Australia to get PR. Many people apply from home and never meet an Aussie boss before they move. Here are the best paths.
Subclass 189 — best for high points
No sponsor. No state. Just your points. If you have 90+, this is the fastest path with no job offer.
Subclass 190 — needs a state
A state picks you. No employer needed. You get 5 extra points and a clear path to PR.
Subclass 491 — regional path
You live in a regional area for 3 years. No job offer needed. You then move to PR (191 visa).
