Would I classify as a legal resident?

I'm concerned that I won't be considered a legal resident to be able to apply for a DCF. I have lived and worked in Thailand legally with a work permit for 4 years. However, 5 months ago my work decided to drop many of the employees work permits (sadly common in Thailand) and I've been a on a tourist visa doing 90 day visa runs since then, which I believe will disqualify me to be seen as a legal resident. I have years of rent receipts, mobile phone bills, internet bills, and my previous work permit which shows years of permanent residence, but I don't think this will be enough given my visa status. Am I correct in my assumption? What if I'm able to fix my visa status now? Will I have to wait 6 months before I can apply for a DCF? Are there other ways to show legal permanent residence other than my work permit? Thanks.

edit: Forgot to include that we are not currently married and have been considering a K-1 visa if we can't do a DCF.
