stopthegreed Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I want to bring my girl from Phillipines to Thailand. I am told that next year Asian people can move freely to and Asian country, and work and live. Is that true ? and if so, when exactly does that come into operation ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigt3365 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Probably best if we move this over to the visa forum. OK? Topic Moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 No that is not true. There is no freedom of movement within ASEAN. But for a few jobs it will be easier to look for a job in other ASEAN memberstates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWorldwide Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 It's weird how often this little gem of wishful thinking seems to be cropping up on different fora. Still, I must admit that it's seductive - just not sure how many million Indonesians/Filipinos most ASEAN countries would be prepared to welcome with open arms ......

ubonjoe Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 ASEAN has been in around for decades. It is the AEC that will start at the end of this year. It only has to do with trade and etc. There is no open borders provision. I think some people assume it is going to be like the EC and it is no where near being like that.

biggles45 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Thailand announced some time ago that following the establishment of the ASEC occupations for other ASEAN members would be limited to 8 professional categories e.g Doctor, lawyer etc. They are not going to,let thousands of well educated, english speakers into the country unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"how many million Indonesians/Filipinos " Sort of echoes a similar situation back in farang utopia where "authoritative estimates" of the impact of such free movements of labor were pulled from a Magic Eight Ball and, typically, half-assed. Cutting across concerns about immigration, wages and social dumping, the issue of free movement of labour is now a hot topic in most of EUR15 countries Two themes seem likely to play a central role in the real debate in the 2014 European elections; jobs and immigration, and, of course, they’re linked. The immigration debate has shifted in recent months from economic migrants entering the EU illegally, and the absence of any common immigration policy; to concerns focused on free movement of labour, crystallised this month by the lifting of the temporary restrictions on access to the labour market for Romanians and Bulgarians. ... In the UK, the debate has been conditioned by the underestimate made in 2004 of those likely to come to the UK from the 10 East and Central European member states. This has undermined credibility about the numbers of Bulgarians and Romanians likely to come. http://www.policy-network.net/pno_detail.aspx?ID=4548&title=EU-election-fault-lines-The-free-movement-of-labour Edited March 1, 2014 by Suradit69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filipina23 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 as far as i know she can live and work here with no visa but she still need working permit i think.,it's a good opportunity for her to work on ASEAN 2015 as well as Asian neighbors.,Goodluck!!!

In order to get a work permit requires a non immigrant B visa. Nothing will change for her when the AEC starts at the end of this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to Thai visa, maybe Google directed him here and he thought that a bunch of knowledgeable forum members would point him I'm the right direction. It had been said that there is no such thing as a poor question, only a poor answer. And for info, just how does the Google algorithm work?

eurozhongguo Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 All that is happening next year is that ASEAN plus also China will start operating a free-trade agreement which means tariff-free imports. it is not a EU-style agreement concerning the free movement of labour. Indeed, Singapore and Brunei would never agree to free movement of labour or the whole population of indonesia, Phillipines and Vietnam would move in.
