Can DTV visa holders apply for their girlfriend or boyfriend in Thailand?

Hi, Does anyone know if DTV (dependent) can apply for girlfriend/boyfriend ? I am asking because immigration officer from the airport told me that I can apply for my girlfriend as well. So just wondering if anyone has experience with it.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among the community is that a DTV (dependent) visa cannot be applied for a girlfriend or boyfriend; it is typically restricted to spouses. Requirements like a marriage certificate serve as proof of relationship, distinguishing between romantic partnerships and legally recognized marriages. Immigration officials might have provided misleading information.

Wife is not gf. Wife can ration her assets but gf cannot.

Simple answer no. Immigration telling you one could be sarcasm for their delights.

I applied for me and my wife at the same time. I did at the Vientiane and only need to show one bank account. The rest are same as everyone else except for marriage certificate.

Proof of relationship is essential which is marriage certificate. I think siblings are not allowed.
