Because one of the requirements for an 1 year extension is that you have a non-immigrant visa

You can get a non-immigrant O visa inside Thailand. But the normal thing to do is to get it in your home country.

An O-A visa can only be obtained in your home country, and is ALWAYS multiple entry.

METV is irrelevant here

, that depends on which consulate you are applying from

If you start with an O-A visa, you'll need insurance for extensions too

"Immigration and visas are way much better" – in a country that doesn't have a scheme for "retirement visa".

You can probably stay for a long time through corruption and by paying the price asked.

Sooo much better 😂

A multiple entry visa can not be obtained inside Thailand

You are stamped in for 30 days based on a bilateral agreement, not based on the visa exemption rule.

Stay based on this stamp can not be extended.
