Spouse Visa question: I'm planning to get my workcation DTV asap. However my gf and I are also planning to get married later this year.

Would it be an issue for her spouse visa that we only got married after I got my DTV? Or would you recommend first getting married, then doing my DTV, then her spouse visa?

I know this is a long shot and not sure if anyone actually knows for sure, but here goes nothing 😅
Answer summary
The timeline of marriage relative to obtaining a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) does not seem to affect the eligibility for a spouse visa, as long as proof of marriage is provided when applying for her visa. It is suggested to consider the expiration of the DTV and the related processes that may complicate matters when applying for a spouse visa after getting married later in the year.

Spouse visa kinda sucks. They make you pay not not for the visa but also for re entry. And then if you want multiple re entry they make you pay for that. Also you have to make multiple trips to the immigration office and you can only apply where your wife home address is. Also they do house checks where they want to come into your house to take photos. All in all the whole process is just really annoying.

Yea I'm married to a Thai man but I'm gonna apply for a dtv.

Marriage visa in Thailand is super tiring

How much later in the year are you getting married? Your DTV is going to run out before hers since each will be valid from the date of issuance. So do you really want to get your DTV now?

Anyway, it doesn't matter when you get married. They just want proof of the marriage and available funds.

Without marriage certificate your GF is not eligable for DTV dependant visa.
