This could be a good option for you if you can afford it. It gives you peace of mind. You aren't allowed to work in Thailand with it though- but could do something online.

Or when you get to 50, just get a retirement visa and extend it every year.

One more option is to teach English (and get a work permit with the job):if you can become a bit more fluent.

I am really sorry for the negative comments on here. Your situation sounds challenging and I hope you can find a good solution. Thailand is a lovely, safe and peaceful place to live. It's just not easy to get citizenship but the Thais are very generous with allowing foreigners to live here long term (as long as they don't break work rules). Best of luck!

@Trevor *****

agreed!! I think there would be lots of work for you online too, for example teaching high level Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean students the finer details. That's a grey area re if it's legal but certainly many do it. You might find it less frustrating than working with students here 🙂 Though there must be some who are genuinely interested... Setting up an advanced language school could be the way to go. Best of luck!

Lots of options for you. A marriage visa, a teaching job in a school or uni with visa and work permit provided, digital nomad visa with the right setup, or an Elite visa if you don't mind paying quite a lot for long term peace of mind. Sounds like you have loads of great skills so could also set up some kind of business if you are married. You just need to figure out which one suits you the best <3
