The Embassy and Permanent Mission of Sri Lanka promoted Sri Lankan products at the Charoen Pokphand Group (CP Group) Global Sourcing Expo 2024
Expanding Sri Lanka’s export basket to Thailand, the Embassy and Permanent Mission of Sri Lanka in Bangkok, introduced the National Crafts Council of Sri Lanka and prominent Sri Lankan businessmen to CP Group which owns renowned retail chains, Lotus’s, Macro and Seven Eleven in Thailand.
The Mission has noticed recently that Sri Lankan nationals are being lured for employment in Thailand particularly for the positions in the Information Technology (IT) sector by dubious IT firms involved in call-centre scams and crypto currency fraud. Victims are illegally taken across the border from Thailand mostly into Myanmar and held captive to work under harsh restrictive conditions. Some of the victims have also been apprehended by authorities for illegal entry.
All these victimized Sri Lankans have arrived to Thailand on tourist visa, promising converting the same to work visa after arrival which has not been succeeded. Sri Lankan nationals are therefore advised not to get enticed and entrapped in such fraudulent job offers and are requested to exercise extreme caution and verify the background of recruiting agents as well as any company before taking up any job offer.
It is advised to obtain Thai visa details from the Thai Immigration Bureau Website. www.immigration.go.th
