The use of agents to obtain visas has always been illegal. The authorities are just applying the law.
The fact that you are using an agent is suspicious in the first place.
If you are staying in Thailand legally you have nothing to worry about. If you are working and have the requisite work permit the visa is automatic. If you are married to a Thai you can get a Thai wife visa. For this you need to have 400k thai baht in a thai bank account. If you don't have that, then tough luck.
I get sick and tired of reading about expats trying to buck the system and then complaining when they get caught.
You are living in a foreign country so abide by the rules and the law. If you do not like it get out and do not spoil it for those of us who stay within the law.
