Are recent changes in visa application procedures affecting how embassies access immigration records in Thailand?

Not sure that the Immigration database with all records of foreigners is connected now, but for sure it is something to think about. Next to that this statement: "“We work with every unit,” Surachate said. “Online world and technology are present in every aspect of our lives … so we have to integrate our efforts in suppressing crimes that come with it.” and "he said the immigration is working with the Anti-Money Laundering Office to inspect past tax records of expats living in Thailand" and the last part : “I’d like to remind all foreigners that their stays and businesses in this country have to be legal,” Surachate said. “We’re watching you.” I would say: he gives a strong warning to all who used loopholes to stay inside Thailand. It really becomes time to clean up your act.
