The Action Network for Migrants (Thailand) PRESS RELEASE No 1 /09 THAILAND WITHOUT MIGRANTS? According to the current migration policy in Thailand, all migrants from Burma, Cambodia and Lao PDR who do not hold a temporary passport must leave the country by February 28th 2010. The Action Network for Migrants (Thailand) is concerned that migrants do not fully understand that the government will strictly enforce its policy to chase all migrants out of the country by February 28th 2010. Hundreds of thousands of migrants have registered to work in Thailand for many years and have trusted that they will be able to extend their work permits. More are rushing now to regularize themselves in the new registration of undocumented migrants in the understanding that they will be able to work for a year and maybe extend for longer. |
