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
Answer summary
The consensus among community members is that it is not possible to bring a partner to Thailand on a dependent visa without being married. A valid marriage certificate and relevant documentation from an employer are required for such applications.

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.
