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

Good Suggestion
Here are the requirements.
Also remember that the thai consulate in Singapore is ONLY online application services There is NO walk up service
