TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about extending their OA visa and whether they qualify for a free 30-day extension or need to apply for a one-year retirement visa. Comment responses clarify that there is no free 30-day extension available for the Non-Immigrant O-A visa, and they can only apply for a one-year extension of stay if they meet the age requirement.

the rules didn't change yet, at this time the CURRENT amnesty is good until the 30th. WAIT and see when this new amnesty that passed the thai cabinet gets enacted into law.

There is no free 30 day Extension of Stay. As you have the Non Immigrant O-A visa you can only apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay based on being over 50 years of age.
