Does a 1-Year OA Multiple Entry Visa in Thailand Automatically Renew with Re-entry?

The questioner, who holds a 1-year OA multiple entry visa in Thailand, seeks clarification on whether leaving the country and re-entering would automatically renew the visa for another year or if a formal renewal process involving proof of funds is required. Responses clarify that as long as the individual returns before their visa's expiration date and maintains valid health insurance for the new entry, they can receive another year stamp. Confusion may arise from the different terms used due to the transition from visa stickers to e-visas, but the core requirement is to enter Thailand within the visa's allowed timeframe.
