Same sex spouse legal dependent now?

Applying for DTV for my wife and I . The king just approved the law and they’ll start granting marriage licenses by Jan 2025

So does that mean Thailand officially will let my wife come with me on DTV if I apply this week na ka?

Thank you

Summary so far

The inquiry revolves around whether a same-sex spouse can be included as a legal dependent on a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Thailand following the approval of a new law recognizing same-sex marriage. While the law is set to be implemented in January 2025, it remains unclear if the embassy will recognize foreign same-sex marriages for visa applications before that date. Responses suggest that applicants should check with the embassy regarding the specifics of dependent visas under the current situation.

It’s not legal for 120 days from publishing. Nobody knows how they will recognize foreign same sex marriages.

Whether your wife can travel with you has nothing to do with the law.

The new law doesn't take effect until January, so it's up to the embassy you'll be applying at to decide if they will allow your spouse to apply for a DTV as well based on your DTV. You would need to check with the embassy and see what they say about applying for a dependent DTV based on same sex marriage.
