I realize that there is no such thing as retirement Visa, read my post.  They both told me that they get an O-A Visa at the Immigration every year.  I took their word for it, I am not going to investigate to find out if they are right or wrong.

Many, many people (among them many long-term residents) are unaware of the difference between a visa and an extension of permission to stay.

 

However as both @ubonjoeand @DrJack54(probably two of the foremost subject matter experts on this forum) have pointed out, they are not getting new O-A visas at a Thai immigration office every year, they are getting extensions.

Don't waste your time.

What they mean is that they obtain an extension each year.

It's not a non O-A or a non O .

They are visas. 

They are obtaining 12 month extensions. 

A non O-A can only be obtained in your own country or country where you are permanent resident.

A non O can be obtained in own country and also some countries Thai consulates and embassies.

Eg Savannakhet etc.

A non O can also be obtained inside Thailand from entry via tourist visa and visa exempt.

That make sense.  Thank you very much for your time.
