To all the people who think thailands tighter immigration is overboard, you obviously haven't dealt with another country's immigration. To get my Thai girlfriend a visitors visa to New Zealand they dug right into her private life. I had to sponsor her, meaning i was liable for her costs including health care, and the cost of her deportation if she breached the conditions of her visitors visa... now we're onto a relationship visa it was full on disclosure of everything. I understand that Australia is as bad if not stricter. Thailand is just doing a fraction of what other countries are doing and in my opinion it's a good thing.
