Deadline set for migrant workers to register

BANGKOK: -- The Thai government has introduced a one-stop service to register illegal immigrant workers before the deadline expires in June. Officials estimate that there are nearly 400,000 migrant workers without work permits.

The registration system has been revised to allow applications for work permits to be processed within a day, the Director-General of the Department of Employment, Chuthatawat Indrasuksri told TNA on Sunday.

Applications can be submitted at any of the local government offices throughout the country, he said.

There are currently around 1.2 million registered foreign workers in Thailand. This includes 900,000 from Myanmar, 190,000 from Cambodia and 160,000 from Laos. More than 800,000 of them work legally.

In order to manage the foreign workers in the country more effectively, the Thai government set the 30 June as the deadline for migrant workers to register with authorities.

Those who fail to comply with the law will be deported. Their employer also faces a maximum of three years in jail and/or a fine of up to Bt 60,000.

Well, why not?

If this one-stop is only meant for the 3 neigbour-countries it's discrimination, right? if Farang workers couldn't register...

Spain just 'legalized' some 700.000 illegals, mainly from North Africa and South America.

LaoPo

I guess it's only fair that farang can apply for this too.

I'm itching to work a 60 hour week for 3000 baht a month!

You forgot all the English teachers pretending to be workers

Please explain the difference between teaching and working?

And...I'm not a teacher, never will be.

The last part of a TEFL course involves the attachment of a chip on ones shoulder and the insertion of a stick where the sun don't shine. This makes it very difficult to work for more than a few hours a day. It also results in lots of winging and complaining about everything from the price of a 10 baht bus fare and the sudden habit of trying to scrounge drinks off people in Bars. Therefore working becomes secondary. Now do you understand. This was meant for my many friends who are English Teachers a bit of a private joke - is that OK or do you also need a stick.
