Its main objective is to solve the problem of a lack of identification documents for Myanmar migrant workers who entered Thailand under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and groups of workers who have been granted special permission to stay in the Kingdom, whose permits are about to expire soon. The essence of this Cabinet Resolution is the approval for the issuance or renewal of Certificates of Identity (CI) and the application for extension of stay in the Kingdom, as well as the application for work permits for Myanmar migrant workers, so that workers can continue to stay and work legally in Thailand.

⚠️ Precautions and Potential Problems

Even with a clear Cabinet Resolution, there may be precautions and potential problems. To help everyone prepare:

⚠️ Warning: Please be cautious of individuals falsely claiming to offer illegal services or charging excessive fees. You should contact government agencies directly or through reliable and authorized service providers only.

• ❌ Incomplete Documents: Incomplete or incorrect document preparation may cause delays or rejection.
