Established in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.

1. ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT AND SCOPE:

Established in 1951, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is the leading intergovernmental organization in the field of migration. It is committed to the principle that humane and orderly migration benefits both migrants and society. As a related organization within the United Nations system, IOM supports migrants across the world, developing effective responses to shifting migration dynamics. Consequently, it serves as a crucial source of advice on migration policy and practice. The organization works in emergency situations to build the resilience of all people on the move, particularly those in vulnerable situations, and to build governmental capacity to manage all forms and impacts of mobility.

The organization is guided by the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, including the upholding of human rights for all. The rights, dignity, and well-being of migrants remain a paramount concern for IOM.

IOM commenced its operations in Thailand in 1975 by assisting the resettlement of Indo-Chinese refugees to countries offering them permanent residence. When the Kingdom of Thailand joined IOM as a member state in 1986, the organization's cooperation with the Royal Thai Government expanded to cover all aspects of migration affecting the Kingdom and its neighbors. This cooperation includes aspects such as labor migration, migration health, counter-trafficking, emergency and post-crisis response, institution building, border management, security and law enforcement.

Today, IOM has a substantial presence in Thailand, with over 450 personnel working on more than 50 active projects across 11 locations in the country. The IOM Mission in Thailand operates out of a main office in central Bangkok and maintains four sub-offices and six project offices in the Bangkok Metropolitan Area, Chiang Mai, Mae Hong Son, Mae Sariang, Mae Sot and Samut Prakarn.
