Thailand tightens checks on illegal foreign workers, warns employers
The Thai government has instructed agencies to conduct proactive inspections of businesses employing foreign workers, targeting those without work permits or working in jobs reserved for Thai nationals. Employers face fines of 10,000–100,000 baht per violation, and repeat offenders risk prison and a three-year hiring ban. Foreign workers found in violation face fines, deportation, and a two-year ban on applying for work permits.
