TLDR : Answer Summary

The requirement for dependants to leave Thailand to obtain a Non-O dependent visa is likely due to bureaucratic procedures, possibly linked to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). Comments suggest that the policy may stem from government preferences, legal regulations, or simply administrative practices. The underlying sentiment reflects frustration at the need to leave for visa processing.

As with any visa because they (some of them) prefer you would not come here.

Non-O dependant visas are probably an MFA initiative, so it's a different government department
