Minister denies rumours of Cambodian deportationsListen to this articleLabour Minister Treenuch Thienthong denied a rumour that Cambodian workers in Thailand are to be deported on Feb 13 due to work permit issues. Cambodian workers with no work permits are allowed to work until March 31, 2026, she said. Cambodian nationals who have renewed their work permits -- for those whose original permits expired on Feb 13, 2025 -- will also be able to remain in Thailand to work until Feb 13, 2027. After that, they can renew their work permits once for a maximum period of two years, that is, until Feb 13, 2029. Therefore, there are no Cambodian workers whose work permits expire on Feb 13, 2026, who will have to be deported, she said.
