The Thai government wants to create more job opportunities abroad and improve workers' lives. They are working on this.

These talks are a big step towards getting more Thai workers into the European job market.

Italy has added Thailand to its immigration plan for 2026-2028, which controls how non-EU workers can enter the country.

This will help Thai workers get jobs in Italy for a short time or a long time. Italy wants 20,000 to 30,000 Thai workers each year. They need workers for farming, factories, healthcare, and services.

Italy's immigration plan allows for almost 500,000 work visas over three years to help with worker shortages.

Thailand wants to sign a labor agreement with Italy to help workers move safely.

This agreement will protect Thai workers' rights and working conditions in Italy and reduce the risk of illegal recruitment.

Thailand and Italy also agreed to work together on job training, pension systems, labor rights, and more opportunities for Thai workers in Europe.

Italy needs more workers due to its aging population.

A report said Italy needs foreign workers because its population is aging and not many babies are being born.

In 2024, Italy had more deaths than births, and its population decreased.

To stop its population from decreasing, Italy needs to accept at least 10 million immigrants by 2050.

Italy is a big economy in the European Union, with a GDP of over $2.4 trillion, and it needs workers to keep its economy strong.
