TLDR : Answer Summary
A suggestion was made for a reference guide that explains the various Thai visa abbreviations and terminology, aimed at helping those unfamiliar with them. Comments provided insights into specific visa types, references for further information, and suggestions for how to format acronyms properly. Various commenters shared their experiences with understanding these terms and pointed out the importance of conducting research.
NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
Explore recent discussions by using the Non-O Retirement Visa tag in the search box at the top of the page.
A. a Single Entry Non Immigrant O visa based on being over 50 years of age
B. a 1 year Multiple Entry Non Immigrant O visa based on being over 50 years of age
C. the Non Immigrant O-A (Long Stay) visa
D. the Non Immigrant O-X visa
E. the Extension of Stay based on being over 50 years of age.
Just advice, you can only get in your home country at the local Immigration office if you already have the Non Immigrant O visa but you can not get the 1 year version but you get 5 years of stay on entry and the visa is valid for 90 days, 1 year, 10 years and you get on entry 90 days, 1 year or 5 year or this visa does not have entries at all you need a Re-Entry permit
All answers are good, if you know which retirement visa (A,B,C,D or E) fits the answers.
a Reference guide can be found at websites of the Thai Consulate, Immigration Office and the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Anyone who knows writing rules and etiquette should know that on the first use of an acronym you identify it by using the full term and immediately after it put the abbreviation in parentheses, like Tourist VISA (TR). Then you can use the abbreviation throughout the remainder of your document.

I had the same problem actually. After 5-6 months I think I start to underetand the usual abbreviations here. The best policy is to ask or read on as post context usually helps.

There aren't too many terms:
1. ME - multiple entry. Let's you enter and exit out of Thailand multiple times. Generally let's you stay for 9p days at a time.
2. SE: single entry. Once you enter, the visa is void.
3. TV: tourist visa. Comes in a single entry (60 days) and multiple entry (6 months) flavors
4. Non-b: Non-immigrant class B visa. Usually used for working on Thailand
5. Non-o: Non-immigrant class O visa. "O" is for other, such as retirement, supporting a Thai wife, or being a dependent, among others.
5. ED Visa: Non-immigrant class ED (or education). When you're in Thailand to study. You can study on almost all visa class though.
6. Triple proofs (or 3 proof's). The requirements you may have to show if you come to Thailand. This is the 20K THB, a ticket out of Thailand, and the proof of hotel.
This is it, I think

Plus, we almost expect grown adults to have a little savvy and do some research before asking, (though most don't).

There are so many abbreviations and incorrect terminology used that this idea would be impossible. Sorry.
