Is a Non Immigrant O-A 1 year visa a multi entry or single entry visa?

I am over 50 from the United States.

Ideally I would like to be able to make multiple 60 to 120 day visits to see my Thai wife while we wait for the American government to grant her a visa to travel to America.

Further to my previous post can someone let me know my next step to apply for a Non Immigrant O visa for retirement. I have just re entered Thailand on a 30 day visa exempt and after 2 visits to immigration in Chiang Mai I haven't progressed any further. First time given forms which included TM47 to fill out. I don't believe this is correct as one of the questions relates to living in Thailand for 90 days or more. Second visit I was told I needed to leave the country for which I replied I have just returned for the purpose of this Visa. This advise was given by the volunteers at Immigration which I believe is incorrect. Can someone guide me on my next step please. Previously on an OA and now wishing to change to O for retirement.

Good day. I have a daughter who's having NON O visa under me. I have non B in my current school but I'm planning to work in a new school. Her visa is from April to July only and hopefully I can start working in my new school by June. What will happen to her visa? Should I renew it for 1 year first before I move to my new school?

Your responses would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Can someone please give me an idiot proof guide for applying for my first non O visa, with details of bank proofs?.

A little background if it helps

Currently here on a TR60 with 30+days until it expires

I have rented condo and have proof of TM 30 (already had certificate of residence for opening bank account so i think thats ok.

Will be applying at Chonburi, Jomtien.

Hey guys, quick question. US citizen. In the long run I’m going for a 1-year Non-OA which I understand requires certain deposits (400k/800k depending on some parameters) but for “first” entry in July, I can get a letter invite for Non-imm b ‘3-months’ or I guess do a tourist visa from USA. Which visa options will allow me to stay the longest time period, including available extensions, before I need to commit to a Non-imm OA? I’m quoted about 20k baht for the non-imm B letter, fine, but wondering if you guys in the know have other options?

hi, asking for advise...

i want to change my currrent type of Visa, (1 year, non O multiple) to 1 year, retirement-Visa (inside the kingdom) .

im on my way to fix TR- Visa 60 days, and come back into the kingdom.

before it expires i want to apply for a non O-Visa 90 days. when applying i want to show combined funds 300K baht cash transfered to thai-bank account from sweden(together with bank statements) and 45K baht/monthly "early retirement income/benifit" approved from sweden embassy in bkk(certificate letter of income), to meet the total funding of total 800K baht required.

thereafter apply for a 1 year extension

my question is:

is the combination possible?

and if so -

do i have to transfer my monthly income funds into thai-bank accounts and show statements or is it enough to only show "certificate letter of income" from sweden embassy to make progress with my 90 days non O-Visa and thereafter 1 year extension applications?

thanks...

Hello, I'm Kindly requesting info/requirements for "non O" visa from laos. I usually get tourist visa. However I'm pursuing a marriage visa with my thai wife. Will the process differ much from tourist visa or is it just more money?
