[webfact]

 

Migrant workers from Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar, who want to return to their home countries to celebrate Songkran between April 1st and May 15th, will be exempted from paying re-entry fees, Labour Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said yesterday.

 

The decision to exempt migrant workers from those countries was approved by the policy committee on the management of alien workers.

 

He said that the exemption extends to dependents of migrant workers who hold passports or travel documents, known as the Non L-A visa, which allow them to stay in Thailand temporarily and their remaining permitted stay must not end before May 15th.

Of course…

 

Its about time the migrants workforce was treated with a better level of respect & dignity.

Most labor based businesses, factories &  building sites would cease to operate without this vital asset to the Thai economy.
