Thais have gone to Japan and failed to come back as required.
Japan officially declared on July 1, 2013 that visa requirements will be waived for Thai nationals traveling to the country.
Moreover, numerous low-cost airlines serving new Thailand-Japan routes are rubbing salt into the wound, causing the cost of traveling to Japan to drop considerably, making it much easier for Thais to go to Japan to seek employment.
According to Surapol Sritrakul, Managing Director of Tempak Tour Co. Ltd., although Thai nationals are exempted from visa requirement, the company still has strict measures in assessing its clients, explaining that the more Thais illegally emigrate to Japan , the more likely Japan will revoke its visa waiver.
He pleaded with other tour companies to take tough measures evaluating their clients in order to prevent Japan from revoking the newly issued policy.-VNA
