On November 2, 2026, Labor Minister Jatuphorn Amornvivat presided over the opening ceremony and delivered an encouraging speech to participants in the skill development project for overseas job seekers heading to the Republic of Korea, Fiscal Year 2027, Batch 1, held at Prajaktra Design Hotel in Udon Thani province.
During the event, the Labor Minister emphasized that language and cultural preparation are foundational elements for working in South Korea. These skills enable workers to communicate effectively, understand local lifestyles, and adapt smoothly to a new environment. He also congratulated all participants who passed the Korean language proficiency test, including those awaiting dispatch, those waiting for employment contracts, and those pending employer selection.

Official labor migration programs to South Korea provide substantial income opportunities for Thai families and local economies. Strict warnings against illegal employment and desertion are crucial because past issues with undocumented workers have severely impacted quotas and triggered tighter visa scrutiny from South Korean authorities, jeopardizing future employment opportunities for applicants from specific regions.
Every Thai worker plays a vital role in building trust and preserving employment opportunities in the Republic of Korea. Therefore, please comply with your employment contracts, respect the law, and follow all relevant rules.

The Labor Minister strongly cautioned that escaping employment not only violates legal contracts but also directly damages the prospects of other job seekers from the same province, potentially leading to future recruitment restrictions for those specific regions. He urged everyone to strictly honor their employment agreements and local regulations.
Individuals interested in pursuing legal employment abroad can monitor official recruitment announcements on the website doe.go.th/overseas or inquire for further details at any Provincial Employment Office, Bangkok Employment Offices Area 1–10, or by calling the Department of Employment hotline at 1506 followed by press 2.
