Paragraph 47 (page 17)
Following the outcome of 2015-2016 Immigrant Census, it was found that a number of
children whose parents are Vietnamese did not go to school. In this regard, the Ministry of
Interior has communicated and coordinated with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport
to ensure that they go to school like other children.

Paragraph 50 (page 18)
The Ministry of Interior has strictly implemented the Law on Citizenship and Immigration
without segregation by revising the 2015-2016 Immigrant Statistics, thus providing a more
specific database for proper solutions.
The Ministry of Interior has recently achieved considerable success in confiscating irregular
administrative Cambodian documents owned by foreigners and receiving applications for the
recognition of immigrant aliens and permanent resident certificates – i.e. putting an end to
the long-standing problem of dealing with immigrant aliens in the Kingdom of Cambodia,
preventing the issuance of illegal administrative Cambodian documents for foreigners, as
well as participating globally in the implementation of the Convention and International
Covenant on Human Rights. After the confiscation of the irregular administrative documents
owned by foreigners, the Ministry of Interior has instructed the sub-national level
administrations and all police units that involve issuing administrative letters and birth
certificates for Cambodian spouses, children and immigrant aliens whose documents had
been confiscated to expand the administrative services in response to their needs as stated in
Circular No. 015 of 1 July 2019 issued by the Ministry of Interior.

migration.

Authorities (Thailand) have sent labourers back, for researching information and data related
to labourers’ vulnerability and providing them with appropriate services, especially forced
labour victims.
Through interviews and research, labourers in Thailand face the following risks:
