Hi guys I just read another post (different chat) that you can make an OA visa last two years if you do it correctly saving the need for 800k sat in the bank… is this possible?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, it is possible to extend an OA visa for two years by timing your departures and returns correctly. Departing and returning before the visa's use-before date will typically allow for another year of stay. However, you'll need a re-entry permit for further departures after that. Additionally, while there is no need to show proof of 800k baht in a Thai bank, you are required to have health insurance for the entire duration of your stay on the OA visa.

You not need proof of money in a Thai bank. But you need a health indurance during the full lenght of your right to stay.

The OA is a multi-entry visa, so if you depart and return just before the "use before" date you will be stamped in for another year. But remember then that you would need a re-entry permit if you wanted to leave again.
with that in mind, our minds would be made up to stay or go at that point and so long as I then put 800k in the bank I can apply for the retirement extension at any time in that extra year or only in the last month
