According to the office of the labour attaché, Myanmar citizens living in Thailand can obtain a job passport (PJ) by providing concrete evidence if they lose their certificate of identity (CI) and encounter difficulties.

To prevent Myanmar workers from facing diffi­culties and to enable them to live and work with strong evidence, Myanmar job pass­ports (PJ) were issued on 14 November.

According to the Myan­mar Job Passport Unit, appli­cants can apply at the Tempo­rary Data Collection Centre (TDCC), the Myanmar Job Passport Unit at Mahachai, Thailand, with a copy of the CI, a recommendation letter of the lost CI from the respective Thai police station, and its notarized translation in English. Addi­tionally, applicants need the original recommendation letter from the Myanmar Embassy to Thailand, a work permit, the original citizenship scrutiny card, and a copy of the house­hold list. — TWA / TRKM
