The Ministry of Labour and Home Affairs informs the Public that effective 01 February 2013, the revised Point Based System (PBS) will be implemented. The PBS pass mark has been reduced from 75% to 60% for fresh applications. This pass mark will apply to both investors and employees applying for Work and Residence Permits in Botswana. This is a bid to make it easier for the much needed foreign investors and foreign skilled workers to get permits to live and work in Botswana.   http://www.gov.bw/en/Ministries--Authorities/Ministries/Ministry-of-Labour--Home-Affairs-MLHA/
