I got my DTV and have had zero issues. I am an American and they respect us too much to bother us when we are blessing the kingdom with our presence. I spoke with immigration and they are mostly focusing on Canadians and the French. Now thats sensible border control!.
I bought a yacht in Phikhet but BKK still closed my account. After sailing around the world I bought a villa for 100m thb and finally BKK bank let me keep my account. My advice is to buy a yacht and 100m thb villa and u should be able to keep your BKK account open with a retirement salary like mine of

thb a month. I have to go to my navy seals opp now.
It's simple..vote with your feet and move somewhere else or bend over. Go home or live with the rules here:( That's our only choice. Most foreigners moving to Cambodia and Vietnam now..and Thailand no.longer no. 1 to visit. U think she has problems now..wait till she's built the house and realizes that the land kease is no longer 99 years but 30 and that after those 30 years her family will inherit nothing and of she lives longer than that they can simply refuse to extend her lease making her property worthless...welcome to Thailand
Go back to home country and get a job. But, Sadly, getting a job seems to be very tough now and employers are giving up offering remote work. Those days are dissapearing. Start a YouTube channel and be like the other 40 million ex oats here and live off if that..anywhere from 0 to 5000 usd a month.
If u are too broke to afford a visa here go back and earn more money and save up till u can come here properly and safely. Cambosia is far easier and so is Vjetnam and the Phillipines. THAILAND DOES NOT WANT ANY FARANG WHO DOES IS STRUGGLING WITG CASH AND THEY WILL PUNISH YOU WHEN U FXXK UP. .. Be safe and smart Tony..go to Cambodia. You can't afford Thailand right now.
Its a process for sure. Don't get a marriage visa. NON O is much better although u need 800k..not 400k. Why to marry? There are no benefits to being married except for the woman.
