Before making a smart move to settle in Australia in 2024, it is important to know why Australia is the best choice for you. Here are some the top reasons for the same:
The US World & News Rank report ranks all countries in the world each year. This helps the audience make a wise decision to immigrate to the best country as per their study, work, business and settlement needs.
The following is the stance of Australia in 2025:

| Social Purpose | 88.2 | 9 |
The above top rankings indicate Australia’s stronghold on a global platform. A country with such metrics and boosting economy is bound to offer a higher quality of life for foreign immigrants.
Another reason for choosing Australia to settle in is the higher PR approval targets. Yes, in 2024, the country is all set to select 185,000 people for permanent residency. The country offers multiple pathways to get a PR visa with seamless access, easy eligibility and fast visa processing timelines.
Apart from multiple PR visa pathways, the Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189) is the most popular. And up till now, the country has selected the following number of PR applicants in 2024:
