ORIGINAL POSTER
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.

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