TLDR : Answer Summary

If your Non OA Visa expires after leaving Thailand, you can either apply for another OA Visa from your home country or, alternatively, you may transfer 800,000 baht to Thailand to qualify for an O retirement visa.

Get another OA in your home country, or transfer 800,000 baht to Thailand and get an O retirement visa.
