The OA visa is a multiple-entry visa valid for one year, and as such, a re-entry permit is not required for the first year. However, if you extend your stay after the original OA visa period, you will need to purchase re-entry permits for travel outside Thailand. These can be bought as single or multiple permits, with multiple re-entry permits being a more economical choice if you plan to leave and return more than three times.

If you extend your original OA visa inside Thailand, or are on the one year stamp inside Thailand after your original multi-entry date expired, then you can get as many re-entry permits as you like, but getting the multi-entry re-entry permit is a better deal if you are leaving and coming back more than three times, at bt3800, as opposed to the single re-entry permit at bt1000
technically it is an extension of the original visa, as you can extend an OA visa inside Thailand, and it has the same health insurance requirement, and the financial requirement. It is still an OA visa extension.
show me in the OPs post where he says anything about a visa. If you are going to criticize then why didn't you correct the OP, as technically OA means nothing. Don't be hypocritical.
grow up. What do you want, me to just leave the group and quit helping people? The correct term is OA visa, not OA. If you are going to be so critical then at least be absolutely accurate.
there are many different types of retirement visa. Look in your passport and tell us what it says, that's the only way to get an accurate answer

No such thing as a single entry OA. It's valid for 12 months, multiple entry. No re-entry permit required

Not quite sure what you mean. A non OA is a multiple entry visa. Valid for a year and on each entry you get stamped in for 365 days or as long as your insurance is valid for.
