Junta Restrictions on Migrant Worker Passports Spark Fears Among Myanmar Workers in Thailand

HURFOM: Myanmar migrant workers in Thailand, who recently converted their Certificates of Identity (CI) into “Passports for Job” (PJ), are now being issued travel documents stamped “Passport for Thailand Only.” This restriction, enforced by the Myanmar Embassy in Bangkok under junta control, means workers can no longer use these passports to travel outside of Thailand.

The CI booklet, unlike a standard passport, is a temporary identity document issued by the junta-backed authorities to enable migrants in Thailand to work and reside legally. Previously, workers who converted their CI into a PJ passport could also travel to neighbouring countries. However, as of September 26, the embassy has begun issuing PJ passports, which are valid only within Thailand.

“This makes things very difficult for anyone who hoped to leave Thailand through this process. Now it’s restricted only to Thailand,” explained one migrant worker who went through the procedure.
