I now have my non-immigrant type O-A visa and will be moving to Chiang Mai in June. From all I can see, I will NOT have to do a visa run every 60-90 days. This is good for an entire year. Am I correct?
TLDR : Answer Summary
With a non-immigrant type O-A visa, you will not need to perform visa runs and can remain in Thailand for up to one year from your entry date. However, it is mandatory to report to immigration every 90 days and complete a TM 30 residence form within 24 hours of your arrival. Your visa allows for multiple entries, but follow-up actions like reporting and potential re-entry permissions are essential to maintain your residing status.
