To work legally as an english tutor he needs a degree. To open an internet shop he needs to compete with the hundreds open already. To do crafts or car wash he'd need to be happy living on $1 a day as he'd be competing with the poorest of the poor.
Fred, there are other Visa options that don't require a bank balance, aren't there? have you asked your question on Thaivisa? Perhaps your volunteer work for monforamonth will help you qualify for a different kind of visa if you get a letter from your abbott.
I think it's not right you should find yourself in this position after living there for 18 years and having married a local.

Really? Here any pupil can tutor another.
Sure but you have to compete everywhwere, If you're good and work hard, you'll make it.To open an internet shop he needs to compete with the hundreds open already.
I believe you if you say so.To do crafts or car wash he'd need to be happy living on $1 a day as he'd be competing with the poorest of the poor.
That's very good idea, by all means try that, Fred.Perhaps your volunteer work for monforamonth will help you qualify for a different kind of visa if you get a letter from your abbott.
