This is going to cost you the white out of your eyes to.
I suggest you look into going to the US and do your training there. There are JAA helicopter flight schools in the US and much better opportunities to get a flight instructor job there than anywhere else.
Do some research on your own and pick one way to go and do it sooner than later because, well, you aren't getting any younger...
I have heard of guys starting flying around the age of 40 and making it all the way to a nice heli job. Still anything can be done.
PM me if you like.
Best of luck.
