Migrant workers who illegally migrated to Thailand, those who have official permits for work and live, although they expired, or those who officially migrated through working illegally can apply for temporary work and residence permits, the Myanmar Embassy announced.
This permit will allow foreigners to work and live in Thailand for one year. It is a plan which allows foreigners who hold a passport or CI to still validate until 13 February 2025 and will extend their work permit to work in Thailand until 13 February 2025. Under this plan, foreigners are allowed to continue applying for two-year work permits with another two-year extension.
As additional relaxation for the convenience of foreigners, the period for finding a new job after leaving the old job is extended to 60 days from 30 days, and the requirement for submission of employment contract to the registrar is now removed.
Myanmar workers whose MoU expires will need to make sure that their passports are validated for at least two years, and CI holders will also need to make sure of at least two years of validity, it said.
Passport replacement service is provided at the Myanmar Embassy in Bangkok and the Consulate General in Chiang Mai, and negotiation has been underway between the two countries on setting up a CI replacement station so that further announcements will be made, said the embassy.
