Speaking to the media yesterday, Mr Ananchai said Cambodian authorities are working to issue passports and other travel documents to more than 240,000 Cambodian workers in Thailand. He was quoting figures provided by Hun Manet, vice-chairman of the Committee for Providing Legalisation to Cambodian Workers. Cambodia expects to issue all the passports by June which should allow Cambodian workers to continue working in Thailand legally, Mr Ananchai added. But they are required to pass a nationality verification process to extend their work period. Thailand has an MoU with Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos to allow migrant workers to work in Thailand legally.
