TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual is seeking advice on renewing their extension of stay on a non-O visa for a Thai child after becoming widowed and is questioning the paperwork involved. They inquire about the possibility of changing their extension to a non-O retirement visa since they meet the income requirements at the age of 50. A comment confirms that they can change the extension type if they meet the financial requirements, and suggests visiting the immigration office for documentation guidelines.

As long as you meet the financial requirements there is no problem changing the reason for your extension from raising a thai child to one based on being over 50 (retirement).

Go to your immigration office well before your current extension will expire, get the hand out listing the documentation requirements for the extension based on retirement and you should be fine.
