Myanmar transferred a Korean citizen involved in telecom fraud and other criminal activities in Kayin State via the Myanmar-Thailand Friendship Bridge II yesterday.

Myanmar authorities officially handed the deportee the necessary legal documents to ensure the smooth repatriation.

Between 30 January 2025 and 24 March 2026, a total of 14,616 illegal immigrants were identified and detained in Myanmar. Of this number, 13,336 individuals have already been deported through Thailand to their respective countries, while arrangements are being made to deport the remaining 1,280 individuals. These individuals are currently under detention while awaiting repatriation.

The government is cracking down on online scams and online gambling by cooperating with other countries, including neighbouring countries.
