Does TH recognise domestic partners and issue them Non Immigrant O visas?  For reference we are recognised legally in USA and in Singapore as Domestic Partners and Singapore even issued him a DP under my work visa.

Anyone know about this? I can’t find anything on getting an O pass for a Domestic Partner.  Thank you ka 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary

Thailand does not recognize domestic partnerships, including those legally recognized in other countries such as the USA and Singapore. As a result, it does not issue Non Immigrant O visas specifically for domestic partners. However, if a couple has a child together, they may apply for a dependent visa. There may be alternative options for a domestic partner, such as applying for a 6-month METV through the Thai consulate in Singapore if they meet the requirements.

If you have that visa from Singapore your DP might be able to apply for the 6 month METV from the Thai consulate/Embassy there...that is if the DP meets all the requirements for the visa
