ORIGINAL POSTER
I have a question regarding OA visa (Retirement) If my friend gets the multi entry visa in Australia and then leaves Thailand and returns before it expires to get the extra year and then leaves Thailand for a few months. Is it still valid for the whole year. I hope that all makes sense

TLDR : Answer Summary
The OA visa, commonly known as the retirement visa, allows for a multi-entry option. If your friend enters Thailand with this visa, leaves, and then returns before the visa expires, the visa remains valid for the duration specified upon issuance. However, it's crucial to monitor the individual conditions attached to each re-entry to ensure compliance for the entire year.
