What is the MOU System?

🤝 It is a coordination between the Thai government and the countries of origin (Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam) to bring migrant workers into Thailand to work legally, with welfare benefits, and protected by law, for the sustainability of the business sector.

Analyze Decision Factors

A comparative graph of cost-effectiveness, speed, and risk to give you an overview before making a decision.

📊 Summary of Key Indicators

  • Initial Costs: Doing it yourself is more economical
  • Speed: Agency is faster
  • Accuracy: Agency has lower risk

Do It Yourself

Suitable for organizations that want strict budget control and have personnel ready for complex government paperwork.

  • Strengths: Saves budget on service fees, paying only actual government fees.
  • Limitations: Involves complex procedures and takes longer than usual. Risks delays if documents do not meet new criteria.
  • Before you decide to do it yourself: Look at the whole job first in 6 Steps for Importing MOU Migrant Workers. If your business already has someone on paperwork full time, doing it yourself is worth it.

In short: doing it yourself saves the service fee but you pay with time and with the risk of documents being sent back, while hiring a company means buying certainty over the timeline. If you want to compare using the real numbers of your own case, open the MOU scope of work and service fees and weigh it against the cost of the staff you would have to pull off other work to chase the paperwork.
