I would say to your wife she is able to give whatever she wants from the money you give her, to her family, it is hers to do as she wishes. I am also married to a Thai and have over the years helped out when I can and have been happy to do so. I've never felt that I have been pressured or taken advantage of. I would say that you have an equal responsibility to help out in times of need as her other siblings are. And if they are giving say 1000 baht a month to their parents then you and your wife may want match it. Extended family are not her or your responsibility and should be shut down and ignored. Why doesn't your wife get a job and then she could give some of this to her family as well. She must be a bit bored all day not working and it'll keep her occupied and less time to think about what people are saying on social media.

Just to update people who have read/posted to my thread... My visa came through - Approved! No explanation about the delay or why I was emailed about concerns of a possible blacklist record. I didn't involve a legal firm as the evisa system was still showing my visa as processing despite the emails from the embassy saying that my visa would be cancelled and mention of blacklist record etc.

This links to my other post about my London Embassy visa application being referred to the MOFA. I’ve started a new thread as it has now taken a different turn. Ive heard back from the e-visa people stating that they are concerned I’m on a blacklist and have cancelled my visa application. They have told me to contact Thai immigration directly. I’ve email two offices in Bangkok asking if I’m on a blacklist and why, so we will see what they say. I’ll also call them in the morning. Has anyone had a similar response with no follow up information? Does anyone know who to contact? (I may have emailed the wrong place). If I am on a blacklist, can I appeal? Ive had visas issued in the past 10+ years ago, and have entered visa exempt 3 times in the last 10 years, no problem. Thanks
