snoop1130 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 300,000 migrants expected to leave kingdom for Songkran By The Nation An exodus of nearly 300,000 migrant workers is expected from April 5-30 when they visit hometowns for the Songkran festival in Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar. Labour Minister Pol General Adul Sangsingkeo, following a meeting of the Migrant Worker Management and Anti-Human Trafficking Sub-committee on Wednesday, told reporters that the meeting resolved to allow Cambodian, Lao and Burmese workers whose non-immigrant L-A visas were valid at least until April 30 to head home during Songkran without having to pay a fee. Children under-18 could travel with them, the minister added. If the workers returned to the kingdom after April 30, they would be given a visa stamp that would be valid until the old visa's expiry date and they would have to pay a Bt2,000 fee, he warned. In April 2018 240,251 migrant workers went home. This Songkran it was expected that nearly 300,000 would do so.
