North Korean defectors in Thailand information


Thailand has become one of the destinations of choice for North Korean defectors aiming to either resettle in third countries, or pass in transit to South Korea. Although the Royal Thai Government does not recognize North Korean escapees as refugees, but rather as illegal economic migrants, the Thai government allows North Koreans illegally entering the country to resettle in South Korea. This is possible because South Korea’s domestic law recognizes that North Koreans are also citizens of South Korea.[1] The Thai government also cites the "conveniently blurred geographical distinctions"[citation needed] between the two Koreas in facilitating the transfer and resettlement process.
