  • Burmese in Thailand (Thai: ชาวพม่าในไทย, Burmese: ထိုင်းနိုင်ငံရှိမြန်မာများ) constitute Thailand's largest migrant population. According to the 2014 Burma Census, 1,418,472 former Burmese residents, including 812,798 men and 605,674 women, were living in Thailand, constituting about 70% of Burma's overseas population. Burmese in Thailand tend to fall into three categories: professional migrants working in the business or professional sectors, laborers working in low-skilled professions, and refugees fleeing conflict. Migrant workers tend to hold low-skilled jobs in the fishing and seafood processing, construction, garment, and domestic service industries. Macquarie University estimates that the average annual remittances from Thailand to Burma exceed US$300 million. The movement of Burmese nationals into Thailand began in the 1970s, following the 1962 Burmese coup d'etat and resulting economic decline from implementation of the Burmese Way to Socialism, and ongoing civil conflicts. Burmese migrants contribute tremendously to the Thai economy, contributing between 5 and 6.2% of Thailand's GDP. Samut Sakhon Province is home to Thailand's largest Burmese migrant community, representing about 200,000 Burmese migrants. Other large Burmese communities reside in Mae Sot, Ranong, In 2003, the Thai and Burmese governments signed a memorandum of understanding to formally recognize this labor migration flow and legalize migration through a government program to recruit workers directly from Burma, and to use a nationality verification process whereby migrant workers receive a temporary passport, an identity certificate, a visa to remain in Thailand for two years, and a change of work status to legal. There are also roughly 150,000 Burmese refugees living at 9 official camps on the Thai-Burmese border. The largest such camp is Mae La refugee camp. In 2014, the Thai government announced plans to repatriate Burmese refugees who have been living in border camps for the past 2 decades. (en)
  • 泰國的緬甸僑民,是泰國最大的移民人口。 根據2014年緬甸人口普查,1,418,472名前緬甸居民,包括812,798名男性和605,674名女性,居住在泰國,約佔緬甸海外人口的70%。泰國的緬甸人往往分為三類:在商業或專業領域工作的專業移民,從事低技能職業的外勞和逃離衝突的難民(羅興亞人、克倫族、撣族)。 緬甸移民工人往往從事漁業和海鮮加工,建築,服裝和家政服務行業等低技能工作。麥覺理大學估計,從泰國到緬甸的年均匯款額超過3億美元。緬甸國民進入泰國的運動始於20世紀70年代,此前的1962年緬甸政變,與緬甸式社會主義的實施導致經濟衰退,以及持續的內部衝突。緬甸移民為泰國經濟做出了巨大貢獻,佔泰國國內生產總值的5%至6.2%。 龍仔厝府是泰國最大的緬甸移民社區的所在地,代表著約20萬緬甸移民。其他大型緬甸社區居住在Mae Sot和拉廊。2003年,泰國和緬甸政府簽署了一份諒解備忘錄,正式承認這一勞務移民流動,並通過政府計劃使移民合法化,直接從緬甸招募工人,並使用國籍核查程序,移民工人獲得臨時護照,身份證明,以及將工作狀態變為合法的的逗留兩年的簽證。 還有大約15萬緬甸難民生活在泰緬邊境的9個官方營地。來興府的湄拉難民營是最大的難民營,2014年,泰國政府宣布計劃遣返過去20年來一直居住在邊境難民營的緬甸難民。 (zh)
