TLDR : Answer Summary

To qualify for a DTV Workcation visa in Thailand, your partner must be legally married to you in order to be considered a 'spouse' and eligible to accompany you on the visa. Without a marriage certificate, your partner does not meet the requirement.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
