Thailand underwent its most recent Mutual Evaluation under the Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG), based on an on-site visit conducted in 2016. The Mutual Evaluation Report was adopted by the APG at its annual meeting in July 2017.

Given the results of that evaluation, Thailand was placed in the APG’s enhanced follow-up process, meaning the country reports back more frequently than under standard follow-up to demonstrate progress on outstanding technical compliance deficiencies. Since then, Thailand has secured re-ratings on several Recommendations — for example, Recommendations 1 and 26 were both re-rated from Partially Compliant to Largely Compliant Recommendation 1 is re-rated from Partially Compliant to Largely Compliant. Recommendation 26 is re-rated from Partially Compliant to Largely Compliant — bringing the country to 33 of the FATF 40 Recommendations rated Compliant or Largely Compliant, with 6 remaining Partially Compliant, as of its most recent follow-up report Thailand now has 33 Recommendations rated Compliant/Largely Compliant; 6 Recommendations remain Partially Compliant.

In 2026, the EU Global Facility on AML/CFT conducted several scoping and working missions to Thailand, which sought to assess the country’s needs for technical assistance and define a future course of action.

Technical assistance activities will start to be delivered by the project in late 2026, starting with support on Statistics and AML/CFT.
