Can I bring my partner to Thailand on a dependent visa without being married?
Hi everyone
I work in Thailand with a valid work permit until 2026.
Would it be possible to bring my partner here on a dependent visa, even if we’re not married?
Thank you

No - you have to be married.

Unfortunately, the answer is no. Your partner has to be your wife de facto and de jure. You need a marriage certificate and documents from your employer.
