@BusNo8 Look man, give it a shot and tell us how it goes. Good luck with your application, but no need to bark at anyone who says something you don't like.

 

Thailand wants rich foreigners to apply, who have spouses and children, high education (Master's or PhD level), respect Thai culture and have submissive behaviour.

 

Yes, it may be easier in the end than what it looks like from all the requirements, but you never know who you would get opposite you when you apply, so it's better to be ready for anything, and not point at 50 points pass mark, as any lower score than anticipated would drop you out of the race.

 

You'll need to put some serious time into preparing for this and not take this lightly, but it's quite likely, if officer where you are applying doesn't think you'd pass the mark, they'll reject your application before you even make the payment. Don't know what happens if you actually apply and get rejected in the process...

 

Note though - for all documentation, at least at CW, everything must be originals, certified by your country of origin's foreign ministry, translated to Thai and recertified by Thai foreign ministry, including the letter that you would give up your original citizenship if you're granted Thai citizenship (yes, I know, letter of intent means nothing legally, but it's still requirement). Officers at counter where you apply for citizenship only speak Thai. Try to prepare to hold a conversation with them in Thai, as your wife doing all the talking might not look very good for you, given what you're applying for.

 

Good luck!
