Answer summary
The consensus from the community is that all Thai visas, including the Non Immigrant O-A visa, must be extended within Thailand at an immigration office. Users shared details about the O-A visa's duration, its multi-entry capability, and the requirements for a one-year extension, which include financial proof, specifically 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account or proof of an income of 65,000 baht per month.

How about stating when the O-A was issued, what date your current entry stamp is valid until and what the "enter before" or "must be used by" date is on the visa.
That would help people give you accurate advice

No

Yes - Mary, the monthly 65,000 was stated by me as 'equivalent' ... earnings usually from the home country
Mary ********
The 800k does. I don't think the 65,000 monthly currently has to be in a THAI bank just proof of that level of income. The minute they start requiring that much monthly in a THAI bank I am gone.

OPThank you Joe .... you’ve been a great help.

- Yes a Thai Bank For the Extension of Stay which is processed in Thailand .Michael ********
OPSo it has to be in a Thai Bank account and not the equivalent in a UK account.

An Extension of Stay to an O or O-A Visa requires presenting proof of financial ability to support yourself. No police check.. The money is 800,000 baht in a Thai Bank or proof of income of 65,000 Baht a month equivalent

No - in the 2nd year of the O-A Visa, the Multi-Entry aspect is dropped.. Same in a one year Extension of Stay - you have to buy rentry permits to exit and renter Thailand to preserve your Visa or Extension
Michael ********
OPAnd is it still multiple entrance ?

At the end of the Second year just make for an Application for a One Year Extension of Stay at the local Thai Immigration office for a 1900 Baht fee

@Michael *******
- Yes... correct... But please take note: The Non Immigrant O-A Multi- Entry visa is in actuality a 2 year visa.. Just Exit Thailand and Reenter a day or two before the First year Expiry date.. You'll be stamped back in one year out to the next Expiry dateMichael ********
OPSo only in Thailand
