The Thai cabinet on Tuesday has approved the extension of the work permits of migrants from Cambodia and two other for two years.

 

Government spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said the extension was for Cambodian, Lao, and Myanmar migrant workers who had entered the country under the memorandums of understanding on labour and whose four-year employment contracts were set to expire this year.

 

Their work permits and visas would be extended for up to two years so that they would not have to leave the country while the Covid-19 situation was making travel difficult. The extension would also meet the needs of employers, Mr Thanakorn said.
