Does anyone know if it's possible to apply for a Spouse Non-O visa in the case of a "civil union / civil partnership" instead of marriage?
This is a case of a new employee coming from France who will get a Non-B visa and her partner is moving with her to Thailand.
After a quick Google search it seems that it's not possible as a marriage certificate is required at the Paris embassy. However, most info I found it's regarding same-sex partnerships. I know these are not recognised in Thailand and it is NOT the case in this situation. It seems these "civil unions" are very common in France for opposite-sex couples too instead of marriage.
