Hi. I am 50+. However, the reason I'm here on a STV is simple: my husband has a 1-year Ed visa with a university in Bangkok, & as Thailand does not recognize same-sex marriages, I was given the STV. So after the 9 months, I'll need to leave & obtain a new visa. (It is unclear at this time whether we will stay past the one-year mark, depending on if my husband's contract is renewed.)
