Thread: 3,000 Vietnamese allowed to work in Thailand for one year

About 3,000 Vietnamese migrants will be legally allowed to work in Thailand for one year.

The cabinet approved the Ministry of Labor's proposal for migrant workers from Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia to be employed in fish processing factories and others in fishery sector in 22 coastal provinces.

Thiat is part of the government measure to solve problems related to illegal fishing. In addition, the cabinet also approved the registration for some 3,000 Vietnamese migrant workers who held tourist visas to Thailand before February 10, 2015.

The Vietnamese will be given legal permission to work in Thailand for one year as fisherman, laborer, housemaid or restaurant worker, following a Memorandum of Understanding earlier reached between Thailand and Vietnam.

Does not the ASEAN Economic Community from the end of the year allow free movement of labor? Maybe it's only skilled labor.

No. Goods only. Not labor.

You sure?... I was always told it was labour as well, of course the teller might be wrong .....

The AEC would pave the way for the free flow of skilled labour in eight professions comprising doctors, dentists, nurses, engineers, architects, accountants, surveyors and the tourism industry.

Aha..... minimal

Most Isaan chaps would rather lose their left testicle than commit to a permanent, full-time job away from their patch.

If this helps to put an end to the enslaving and murder or Burmese migrants then it's good...
