ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi Guys I am in the process of receiving my paperworks from my new employer in Phuket to get my Non-Immigrant (B) Business Visa.

I have been with my partner for the past 3 years and officially registered in a De Facto Relationship since 2019 in Australia.

From my understanding Thailand only accepts marriage hence I am seeking your help to see which other options I may have to have my partner with me in Thailand. (My partner is not Thai)

Thanks in advance for your help.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking guidance on visa options for their non-Thai partner while they are in the process of obtaining a Non-Immigrant (B) Business Visa in Thailand. They have been in a registered De Facto Relationship for three years. Responses suggest that the only option for the partner may be a tourist visa. Another option explored is the education visa, dependent on the partner's current visa status.

Tod *********

Education visa is a possibility. Totally depends on what visa/extension they are here on now as far as if they could get the initial 90 day Non-ED issued inside the country, have to leave and come back to do it, OR have to go to a thai consulate in another country to get it.

Start looking at schools in the area where you live and see what they say.
