I have that (5 consecutive years of working and paying tax) and then 5 years ago I stopped working and continued on a marriage visa. Is that OK? (thanks for replying, most appreciated)

The process includes an oral Thai profciency test. That's a no go for me and explains why so little farang have a permanent resident. Any advice on that? After 13 years in Thailand it feels unfair and ridiculous :(
