Korea welcomes back Cambodian workers

[geovalin]

Cambodia  is now one of six major countries sending workers under the Employment Permit System (EPS) policy to work in Korea which is now welcoming back migrant workers from abroad after the Covid-19 pandemic. However, Korea has imposed tough measures to ensure safe working conditions.

 

Tae Wuk Ha, Minister and Consul-General of the Korean Embassy in Bangkok, said EPS workers’ travel to Korea was suspended in early 2020 due to Covid-19 prevention measures, health policies, and the reduction in air travel. However, after close consultation with six countries, including Cambodia, workers can now resume working there.

 

He said the six countries are Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Timor-leste and China. Cambodia and Thailand are major source countries for EPS workers in Korea, comprising over two thirds of the total. Other countries send under 1,000 workers a year.
