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 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 neighbours, 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 2024, IOM is one of the largest UN agency in Thailand, with over 450 personnel, seven offices and eleven mission sites. The northern offices are Mae Sot, Mae Hong Son, Mae Sariang, and Chiang Mai.
