Established in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.

IOM is committed to the principle that migrants and society benefit from humane and orderly migration. IOM began operations in Thailand in 1975, assisting with the resettlement of refugees in countries where they could obtain permanent residence. Since that time, IOM activities in the country have significantly expanded in terms of both their geographic scope and target populations.

IOM's cooperation with the Royal Thai Government (RTG) has expanded to cover all aspects of migration affecting the Kingdom and its neighbors, including labour migration, migration health, counter-trafficking, emergency and post-crisis, institution building, border management, research, and private sector collaboration since the Kingdom of Thailand became a member state in 1986.

In 2023, IOM is the largest UN agency in Thailand, with over 350 personnel, five offices and eleven mission sites. The northern offices are based in Mae Sot, Mae Hong Son, Mae Sariang, and Chiang Mai.
