Can an OA visa expire and be re-applied instead of renewed in Thailand?

Hi OA Retirees in Thailand,

I'm assuming once an OA visa is expired, it cannot be renewed. It can only be re-applied.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. THANKS 🙏

So I checked the link below for applying for OA VISA again which seems to be the official Thai government info:

[members only]

...according to this page, a few things seems to have changed in the last few months, including:

- no 2 month advanced deposit of 800 K to be in the bank

- Zero documentation on residences & rental status

- A personal data form 🤷‍♂️

NOT SURE WHAT THIS IS...???

can anyone explain please?

am I correct or do the above still apply?

thanks in advance... 🙏
