seesip Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 It looks like there are many Burmese making day trips to Mae Sai. Are there working visas for Burmese to work officially in Thai businesses, but who are just on day permits? How is this going to change with Asean?

CP3 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Most of them are on day pass which don't allow them to work. Whoever has work permit will stay and work at Mae Sai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my friend I Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Burmese can stay for 6 days in Mae Sai but usually go back daily coz they have nowhere to stay. They can't go south of Tesco. They get paid less than Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get paid less than Thai. Unless they have a passport and visa. Since Aug 28, Thais and other foreigners can enter Myanmar with a visa at Tachilek and travel to other parts of Myanmar overland (except via restricted overland routes), while Myanmar citizens can do the same in Thailand (except that Thailand does not have any travel restrictions, not even in the restive 3 southernmost border provinces).
