Return Migration: Thailand and Cambodia

Khmer workers wait for passports

Cambodia is in a scramble to print passports for Khmer citizens who cross the border into Thailand for work. There has been a steady stream of return migration of Khmer migrant workers in Thailand. Thailand has set a March 31 deadline for undocumented workers to obtain passports from their country of origin and proper paperwork if they want to continue working in Thailand.

I was surprised to read that there is a huge influx of Khmer workers in Thailand. It's cool that there is a Thai "one-step service centre" that helps the Khmer workers receive their passports once they are printed.
