You need to check with the Embassy as different places have different rules - have not seen many posts from people using the O-A route from the UK. Most seem to arrive on an O visa and then extend stay in Thailand.

Assuming you can meet the financial requirements for a retirement extension it may well be less hassle to get a non-o (single or multi entry) from Hull on the grounds of 'investigating retirement options' and then extend that visa once you arrive in Thailand.

Financial requirements not a problem,police check same medical same ,we thought it would be better to get o/a from London then we are ok for 12 months when we arrive in thailand other than reporting to immigration every 90 days am icorrect thinking this.

If you are issued a multi entry you are good for almost two years as each entry receives a one year permitted to stay stamp so if you enter the day before the visa ends you get one year again from that date. The only change would be you could not travel without a re-entry permit.

You are right - only the 90 day address reports would be required.
