ORIGINAL POSTER

My wife and I each have a 12 month non o extension for retirement 

For reasons of passport mismanagement one is valid until end February 2025 and the other until end May 2025

Is it possible to apply for a 3 month extension within Thailand in order to bring these back into alignment - end May 2025

TLDR : Answer Summary

The question revolves around aligning the expiration dates of two Non-O extensions for retirement in Thailand, which are mismatched due to passport mismanagement. According to community responses, there is no option for a 3-month extension on any Non-O visa. The suggested solutions include applying for an extension at the local office to match the later expiration date or exiting the country and reapplying for new matching Non-O visas.

You could both exit the country without a re-entry permit then immediately return and apply for new matching Non-O’s. Up to you if you think it’s worth it.

, there is a 90-day extension for Non-ED in some provinces, but not everywhere. and some Non-O volunteering (could be "used to" though).

ED visas can be either 12 month or 3 month (90 days) extensions depending on where you are studying.

There is no three-month option for Non-O-based extension for retirement. All you can do is, go to the local office together to apply for an extension in February, and ask for an "up-to-1-year" extension matching May one.

The worst thing they would do is say no. Then you will still have the same period of extensions, until each Feb and May.
