@ano2017,
If she is over 18, she might not need her father's permission to do anything - but I'll admit laws differ and of course customs do as well.
You are long distance. Have you ever met in person? Not Skype. In person.
If you haven't, then I suggest doing so as soon as you can afford to do that. That probably means going to her and it likely means meeting her family, so bring gifts, dress well, and be on your absolute best behavior if you want a future with this woman.
