Correct i have OX. It's Multiple entry so no re-entry permit required and I have not had to check in after 1st or 2nd year. I have Always had my insurance policy with me incase they ask, which they never have. 5 year is when you go for the 2nd 5 years and they will check financial etc to make sure you conform to the requirements.
I did not think you could get multiple entry Non O when applying from home. You buy that later at the immigration or airport I thought but happy for people to advise otherwise.
They do understand. You said tourist visa does not exist thats where the discussion started and they tried to explain it does exist. But I think we are all on same page now :)
Visa exempt is 60 days no visa. TR60 is tourist visa also 60 days you apply for and pay. As the others tried to explain can use ether method to enter but why get 60 day visa when can get 60 days exempt
People abusing the 60 day exempt plus 30 day extension are ones often getting told to get real visa,s and as Brandon said if abused the exempt having a tourist visa is no guarantee of getting entry
