Can I apply for a Thai DTV visa from the Maldives or do I need to be in Sri Lanka?

To find out, go and et married stupid...

Correct me if I am wrong but Thailand does not recognize same sex marriages.

Yes it applies! Same sex marriage is treated equally!

For Thai Immigration purposes, Marriages of the same Gender are treated the same as Foreign Husband Married to Thai Wife Marriages, with the special exception of NO Financial Requirements (for a Foreign Wife) still in place if it is Foreign Wife Married to Thai Husband Marriages

Thai Immigration Bureau Orders #: + , both dated 23 January 2025 and both published in Thailand's Royal Gazette on 19 February 2025, came into effect on the same day as the Marriage Equality Act of 2024 came into effect on 23 January 2025

However, an interpretation of the Thai language legal text is that it could be either spouse or both spouses combined bank account balances or combined monthly income for same gender spouses to meet ฿400k Thai Baht or ฿40k Thai Baht per month financial requirements = doesn't have to necessarily be only the Foreign Spouse meeting the financial requirements

It was reported in Thai Citizenship group that laws concerning immigration have not been amended yet to allow for same sex marriages. Although they are apparently working on it. This is for sure a discussion with your local immigration office some ok some not

Only a foreign female married to a Thai male does not require the 400k by Immigration

We had to show 0. It's not a marriage visa but a visa with equal rights like marriage. Don't ask why.

Yes, my same sex male-male relationship refers to my husband as my wife on documents

Nice question.. I would like to ask the same question also..

ASK your immigration office

I don't believe so
