ASEAN Committee in Athens Paid a Joint Courtesy Call on the Minister of Migration and Asylum of the Hellenic Republic
On 2 July 2026, H.E. Mr. Sathana Kashemsanta Na Ayudhya, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Thailand to the Hellenic Republic and Chairperson of the ASEAN Committee in Athens (ACAT), along with Ambassadors and Chargé d'affaires ad interim of ASEAN countries, paid a joint courtesy call on H.E. Mr. Athanasios Plevris, Minister of Migration and Asylum of the Hellenic Republic. The Meeting exchanged views and information on issues related to migrant workers into Greece from South East Asia. For Thailand, the Ambassador emphasized the priorities of the Embassy that the treatment for workers from Thailand must be fair and in accordance with the contracts. At the same time, the Embassy always urged the Thai workers to follow Greek laws and regulations. Minister Plevris shared with satisfaction that there were only a few problems regarding workers from South East Asia. Greece is therefore willing to receive more legitimate workers from the region and the Ministry of Migration and Asylum is ready to cooperate closely with the ASEAN Embassies. It is predicted that Greece needs about 200,000 foreign workers in the next 5 years.
