TLDR : Answer Summary
The fees for applying for a Non-Immigrant Visa (O-A) vary depending on the embassy or consulate. For example, in London, the fee is about £150, while in New Zealand it could be around NZ $2,000. The costs may also vary based on local currency exchange rates. Typically, you would need to apply at your home country's embassy, which will have different pricing. Some comments noted fees ranging from 2,000 to 23,000 baht depending on specific circumstances, such as maintaining a certain amount in a Thai bank.

Look at the website of the Thai embassy you want to use.

You can only apply for the OA visa through your own home country embassy/consulate. Prices they charge will differ.

which is the visa I can obtain from outside of Thailand if I want to retire in Thailand?

@Bertie ********
You you can get both the OA and the O outside of Thailand but you can only get the OA in your home country. the OA comes as a one-year multiple entry if your last entry is timed well can be used for 2 years. You don't need to bring your 800k into Thailand until you want to extend close to year 3 but you also must have a criminal background check and mandatory insurance whereas the O Visa is 90 days and need to show the money in a Thai bank for 2 months before an extension.

Depends on the embassy or consulate you are applying at. In London about £150. In NZ $2,000. With exchange rates it’s not exactly the same….
