Tak: Three Registration Department officials in Mae Sot district are under investigation after they allegedly took 30 million baht in bribes to issue identification cards to 700 Myanmar migrants in the past three months.
Prasert Puanglakorn, mayor of Mae Sot, signed an order transferring the officials to non-active posts in other departments, pending an investigation by the municipality.
The pink card is issued to foreigners registered in the house registration system as proof of legality. Valid for 10 years, it can help them apply for work.
