IOM works closely with governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental partners to promote humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all by providing services and advice to governments and migrants. Thailand plays a strategic role in regional migration, serving as an origin, transit, and destination country—especially for labor migrants. This position makes it vulnerable to transnational crimes like human trafficking and migrant smuggling. Strengthening passenger profiling at entry points is vital for improving border and human security. Trafficking methods have rapidly evolved in recent years, extending beyond forced labor and sexual exploitation to include forced criminality, surrogate motherhood, organ removal, and online abuse. In 2024, Thai authorities identified and assisted 644 trafficking victims. Notably, there has been an increasing trend of trafficking cases facilitated through Thailand's air borders, underscoring the need for enhanced screening measures at airports. Against this backdrop the project "Enhancing the Capacity of Thailand to Combat Trafficking in Persons and Smuggling of Migrations for the Purposes of Forced Criminality through Enhanced Border Management” funded by the Government of Norway, IOM aims to strengthen Thailand’s capacity to address trafficking in persons (TIP) and migrant smuggling through enhanced border management.
