Just after a bit advice to try and unfreeze my BB account

I’m 52 from the UK married to a Thai national for 20 years with 2 adult children with dual passports

We are travelling to Thailand in July for the summer and I need to unfreeze my BB account and from what I hear I’m wasting my time if I enter on 60 day visa waver so looking at applying for a visa that could help me achieve this

Maybe a non-O marriage visa ?

I’ve got the 400k in the bank or the 40k per month income so shouldn’t have any problems there

But online it says I need a copy of our marriage certificate which I have but also need the house registration but ours is at our house in Surin

Has anyone recently obtained the non-O who doesn’t have a house registration?

We aren’t intending to move back to Thailand until 2028 but I could really do with unfreezing my bank account this year if possible

Has anyone else been able to unfreeze their account any other way or with another type of visa?
