More than 80,000 Cambodians were already registered for work in Thailand as the deadline just passed, a government official said Friday.
Hou Vuthy, deputy director general of Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training said that by July 14, more than 80,000 Cambodians were registered with Thailand's authorities to legally work there.
He said the Thai side had set a deadline on July 14 for those, not only for Cambodians, who work illegally in Thailand to register for work permit.
He said through legal paperwork, those Cambodian workers will no longer face deportation or charges with illegal entry.
Even though the deadline has passed, the Cambodian authorities will try their best to help those who are not yet registered so that they will be legally permitted.
Thailand is economically richer than its neighbors and needs more workers, thus providing many opportunities to those from neighboring nations to work in the country with hope for more pay.
Early this month, Thai authorities said that 454,449 workers from Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar might face deportation if they fail to register by July 14.
Some say that at least 10,000 Cambodian workers fail to register for legal permit to date, but Hou Vuthy said no one knows for sure how many Cambodians are actually working there, especially, the illegal ones.
He said some Cambodians enter Thailand for one or two days' work, while others might stay up to a week, a month or a year, making the authorities hard to figure out the actual number.
Thai authorities have frequently deported hundreds of illegal Cambodian workers through Poi Pet International border gate between Cambodia's Banteay Meanchey Province and Thailand's Sakaew Province.
In addition to working in Thailand, many Cambodian workers also work in Malaysia and South Korea.

That's right, Cambodia government need to create more jobs for it people. To maintain it economy, culture value,dignity,and inspirational for all Khmers. Not recruits it people to work in foreigners countries. Look at the U.S. For an example. Back in the 1980's and the early 1990's the U.S encourage it people and companies to opens factories base in China. Many Americans companies did moves to China and opens factories there. Look at today, Americans economy is slow. Now the Americans encourage their products to made in U.S.A.It is a must for Cambodia creates it own jobs for it people. Period.
The future of Cambodia is bad under the policy of the COUNTRY FOR SELL that they have done so far.All they know how is to sell farmland and natural resources to Hanoi.As a result, poor farmers and the new generation in thousand are pushed to face extreme poverty. In the near future probably there will be no Khmer people in the homeland as new Viet move in and we Khmer move out to be slave abroad for peanuts.
Leaders in advanced countries would think hard about investing people in long term in education,technology and science.There is no other way.Country such as Japan,Korea and others had done so. And their leaders would concern about every children education from early age and their right to access to universities for poor and rich children and so on.
In some countries in Europe parent were put in jail because they allow their children to skip school for only a few day. Children will be arrested by police if they were to be seen walking in town during school hours.
We are living in the rat race world. If you are not smart you are the under dog.
What about in Cambodia?. How many children are not attending school?.What will the future hold for them? Plus the farmland and natural resources are now being sold to Hanoi?.What have the CPP have done for the country?
Preparation is a key to victory. whether it is in war or in peace.
Knowledge is a modern tool for modern world of this twenty first century,without it we will be out of this world.

"In some countries in Europe parent were put in jail because they allow their children to skip school for only a few day. Children will be arrested by police if they were to be seen walking in town during school hours." Wow! I would call this a free world and would want this to happen to Cambodia.
