Popular Post webfact Posted June 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2021 Reuters file photo for reference only A meeting of 35 foreign Chambers of Commerce unanimously declared Friday the need for the Thai government to vaccinate foreign businessmen, foreign employees and their families as a matter of priority. Chairman of the JFCCT (Joint Foreign Chambers of Commerce Thailand) Stanley Kang said there were 500,000 foreign businessmen an their families and 2 million foreign employees and their families. These two and a half million people need to be prioritised and vaccinated before the end of the third quarter (that's the start of October at the latest), reported Thai business media. So far the registration on the ThaiIntervac.com site had only allowed registration for those holding work permits so it did not include the families of the foreigners or people over the age of 60. Mr Kang thought a better plan would be to organise the vaccine registration utilizing passports and visas rather than work permits. It was noted at the meeting by the Thai-Chinese CoC that nationals from China are being vaccinated by their government. Mr Kang said there was agreement that Thailand is a great country to live in and invest in, but red tape experienced by foreign companies needs to be cut in order to make it more competitive with ASEAN rivals. There were calls for an upgrade of Board of Investment privileges and for talks about extending Social Security to foreigners working and residing in Thailand. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-06-28 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 2 1 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote So far the registration on the ThaiIntervac.com site has been a complete fiasco, with the site crashing on multiple occasions, and "bugs" not being repaired, since it went (laughingly) "live" on 7 June, rendering it completely useless.

Popular Post condobrit001 Posted June 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2021 These "businessmen" are misguided if they think for one minute that the Thai Government will prioritize them and their families whilst hard working Thais cannot get vaccinations currently, and some have to wait many months. The elitist attitude of these people is unbelievable! if they have any bussiness skills at all they should be talking to their respective embassies and trade missions! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the different Chambers of Commerce have quite a bit of pull in Thailand as they raise a lot of revenue and bring in a LOT of foreign investment. Companies like Triumph, M&S, etc. are all here in part due to the BCCT. Forget the Embassies mate they have no interest in helping their citizens abroad. 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
