タイ人に対する厳格な入国審査に「韓国旅行ボイコット」
``Boycott travel to South Korea'' due to strict immigration inspections for Thai nationals
Due to South Korea's strict immigration inspections for Thai nationals, there are growing voices from Thailand trying to avoid traveling to South Korea. In response to these developments, the governments of both countries have begun discussing countermeasures.
According to The Nation, a Thai English-language daily newspaper, social media
As of last month, there had been 32,000 and 17,000 posts using the hashtag "country control," respectively. The Thai netizens who posted such messages were asked by South Korean immigration authorities.
The agency claims that Thai nationals are treated unfairly during the immigration process and is urging them not to travel to South Korea. What angered Thai netizens was that a Thai influencer entered South Korea and was detained.
It was only after posting a statement that the company was forced to leave within a day. Since then, many people have shared similar experiences, and the movement to boycott travel to South Korea has spread. The Nation is a Korean immigration office.
He introduced the circumstances of Thai tourists, raising issues such as excessive charges from the government and frequent travel to South Korea without traveling to other countries.
The Korean government has no choice but to strictly operate immigration inspection procedures to manage illegal immigrants.
My position is yes. Thais cannot enter South Korea without a visa, but the number of illegal immigrants taking advantage of this is increasing. The Legal Department has 78% of Thai residents, 150,700
It is estimated that 0 people are illegal immigrants. The Thai government is also aware of this situation. Last week, Thailand's Ministry of Labor asked for cooperation to prevent Thais from entering South Korea as tourists and finding illegal employment.
I sent a letter to the Thai Travel Agents Association stating that this is the case. Enforcement teams have also been stationed at major airports to prevent illegal Korean employment. The foreign ministries of both countries will hold a meeting of the consular chiefs in the near future to discuss immigration issues.
We plan to discuss this.
