What are the advantages of Non-O vs Non-OA visa for retirees planning to travel from Thailand?

@Brandon ***********

: Very interesting to find out that the financial proof can be in your own country and currency for OA. I was not aware of that. The articles I had consulted always referred to the funds having to be in a Thai bank.

@Stuart ********

: Also, if I understood correctly, both the non O and non OA can be applied for within Thailand. Since I am from Canada, I understand that this means that I can enter Thailand Visa exempt and then apply for either non-O or non-OA from within Thailand. Have I got that right?

@Stuart ********

: Thanks your response Scott. I wasn't aware of the multiple re-entry stamp for 3<800 baht. That sounds very convenient for someone who plans to travel often outside of Thailand.

Does this also apply in the case of a "1-Year Extension of Stay Based on Marriage" to an non O Visa?
