Why is it necessary for dependants to leave Thailand to obtain a Non-O dependent visa?
Why do you reckon they make dependants leave the country to get a Non-O dependent visa?
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.

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