ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The O-A Retirement Visa is issued for one year upon arrival in Thailand, with the option to extend for another year by re-entering the country before the expiration date. Expats can potentially manage to have their presence in Thailand for up to two years by strategically returning just prior to the visa expiration. It's important to note that after one year, a new re-entry permit is generally required. Additionally, when applying for the re-entry permit, proof of having 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account may be necessary.
