Can I apply for a dependent visa for my girlfriend without a marriage certificate in Thailand?
I want to submit for my girlfriend via dependent category but we don't have any marriage certificate. How can we do the process?
Summary so far
The process for applying for a dependent visa in Thailand requires legal marriage; you cannot submit an application for your girlfriend without a marriage certificate. Comments emphasize that a girlfriend does not qualify as a dependent and suggest exploring other visa options or considering marriage to meet the visa requirements.

Are you the same person who has asked this question many times on forums?
If you are, you already have the answer.
You must be legally married to obtain the DTV visa for your spouse. A partner is not a recognized relationship in Thailand. Possibly it will sometime in mid 2025. BUT not now.

Why do you want DTV your GF? Can't she apply for herself? Does she not have 500K baht? If she does not have the money, I will urge her to save up the money first before applying for a DTV. DTV is not going away soon. Or else, you can marry her and apply based on the marriage.

she's probably not doing digital nomad services.

You don't. Being married is a requirement for a dependent. She'd have to get her own visa

Get married to her.

She does not qualify as a dependent.
