Any information in some sort of dependent visa for same sex couple? Other half will be working, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!🙏

Summary so far

Currently, there are no specific visa options for same-sex couples in Thailand. The possibility of a dependent visa for same-sex partners is not available, and same-sex marriages are not recognized under Thai law. While some mentions of the Elite visa exist, it requires legal evidence of marriage and is considered expensive. The discussion around potential visa options for same-sex couples is ongoing, but there are no concrete solutions at this time. To maintain residency, partners not working may need to take courses or exit the country periodically.

Unfortunately there is still no option for same sex couple visa, but it seems that they are discussing it. From that to when it will became reality is still an unknown factor, if ever.
