Far more low-skilled immigrant workers enter the country through other channels: nationality verification, Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), One Stop Service Centre (OSSC), or as border/seasonal workers. The majority of low-skilled immigrants obtain regular status through the nationality verification and OSSC channels, jointly totalling approximately 2.6 million workers. These immigrant workers originate from Cambodia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) and Myanmar. Immigration policies in Thailand have been criticised for “lagging behind reality", and policy makers appear to be struggling to develop an adequate framework for the governance of migration flows. This is in part due to the diverging perceptions of immigration by employers and workers, while at the same time policy makers aim to govern migration flows in such a way that the economy benefits.
