The labour and social welfare ministry has set aside a budget for the thai embassy in japan to send these illegal workers back toThailand, he said. Mr. Prasit said thai people generally enter Japan illegally in one of three ways. They take a trip to Japan with a tour company on a tourist visa. They hold fake passports of countries which have a special no-visa agreement with Japan. They are sent to work in another country for a while, then are smuggled in to Japan by job placement companies while on the way back to thailand. It can cost each person between 120,000-200,000 bath. according to Mr.prasit, most Thai people have not taken legal action against job brokers who cheat them. When told to lodge a complaint they refuse to cooperate because they believed the company will eventually send them to Japan, he said
