Very quick question. My Non O-A Visa has a final admitted until stamp of 16/3/2020, can I apply for another Visa, Non O, from my home country before that date?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is asking whether they can apply for a new Non O Visa from their home country before the expired date of their current Non O-A Visa, which is stamped as valid until March 16, 2020. Comments clarify that you cannot apply for a new visa while your current visa is still valid. If the validity date has passed, you can leave Thailand and apply for a new visa.

The important date to give any advice is the Valid Until Date mentioned on the visa. If this date is in the future, you can not get another visa as this visa is still valid. If this date is passed and you mentioned the date stamped in the small entry stamp Admitted until 16 March 2020, you can leave the country without a Re-Entry permit, this will cancel your current stay and apply for a new visa

@Alan ******

that is a good question. May I suggest you ask your Australian Embassy or Consulate.

@Tod ********

You probably need to wait till the original O-A valid until date has passed before you can get a new O sticker.

Might I assume you are wanting a Non O to avoid meeting the health insurance requirements of the O-A? If so...may I suggest we all wait to see what exactly will happen following the October 31 effective date of health insurance requirement.

And yes you could apply for a Non-O...

but again it waits to be seen the process for doing it. Most likely will require a visit to Thai Consulate outside Thailand to get the Non-O.

And of course meet the financial requirements for the Extension of Stay for retirement.
