TLDR : Answer Summary
The only way to add your girlfriend to your retirement visa in Thailand is through marriage. If not married, she may have difficulty obtaining the necessary clearance from the Philippine government to marry. Alternatively, if she is over 50 years old, she may apply for her own retirement visa.

The ONLY way to add her to your retirement visa is marriage. Which would need to be registered. And if you are not married, she is going to have a tough time getting clearance to marry from Philippines govt. I'm in the same situation. But the answer is marriage or playing the border bounce and visa run game

Not possible. Only possible if you're married. And you'd still have to leave the country to do the visa application if you were married.
