Nation-Apr 20
A TOTAL of 300,072 migrant workers have successfully made it through the nationality verification process to register to work in Thailand and must now move on to getting visas, work permits and health checks
Another 179,227 have made it through the first step in registering to work in Thailand, and the Labour Ministry and related agencies are proceeding to move the workers from Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia through the “second phase”, Labour Minister General Adul Saengsingkaew said yesterday
The Cabinet had allowed migrant workers from three neighbouring countries to register by March 31 with the ministry’s “one stop service” centres and other designated offices to begin the steps for “legalisation”.
Adul said a total of 479,299 workers did as required
Among them, 300,072 workers have completed the nationality verification process (120,692 in Bangkok and 179,380 in other provinces)
The remaining 179,227 workers need to continue through the process (37,319 in Bangkok and 141,908 in other provinces), he said.
With those workers’ permission to stay running out on June 30, the Labour Ministry has set up a central coordination centre at its head office in Bangkok’s Din Daeng district
It also has set up four One-Stop Service (OSS) centres in Bangkok, one of which is located in the ministry compound, and one SSO centre in each province, totalling 80 OSS centres
These OSS centres will begin processing applicants on April 23 and continue through to June 30A TOTAL of 300,072 migrant workers have successfully made it through the nationality verification process to register to work in Thailand and must now move on to getting visas, work permits and health checks
