Thai Cabinet Meeting's Decision on Migration


You may already aware the cabinet approved guidelines of migrant workers management and extend NV deadline to 14 June 2012 (please find attached cabinet meeting note).
Does anyone is already doing or would like to voluntarily translate to migrant friendly language (especially Burmese) so that we can share with our members and the migrants.
 There are good news that the visa fees are reduce to 500 baht and the collection of deportation fund will be postponed.
During this period till 14 June 2012, migrants, their employers and related agencies will be busying with extension WP, medical check, bio-data collection and going through NV process.
 Please kindly advice should we have discussion on how to disseminate these changes to migrants, conduct awareness raising and advocacy activities (for issue related to NV and others).
We can talk more on 15/02/2012 after IWD meeting.
