TLDR : Answer Summary

The DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) cannot be issued or converted from within Thailand without a marriage certificate for spouses. Since you and your girlfriend are not married, she must apply for the DTV outside of Thailand on her own. Alternative visa options, such as soft powers or workstation visas, may also be available.

She would need to apply for the DTV in her own right if you are not married

No DTV E–Visa can be issued or converted inside Thailand, and only having a Marriage Certificate with the main DTV E–Visa holder is possible for a Spouse DTV

No, you get the DTV from an embassy abroad. Of course your girlfriend can apply but she cannot as a spouse cuz you aren't married. She can apply either for soft powers or workstation
