Can I extend a 90 day non immigrant retired visa for another 30 days or do I have to leave Thailand?
Answer summary
You cannot extend a 90-day stay permit obtained with a single entry Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa for an additional 30 days. Instead, you can apply for a 1-year Extension of Stay Permit based on Retirement if you meet the financial requirements. Alternatively, you may leave Thailand and re-enter to obtain a new 30-day stay stamp if you are from a visa-exempt country.

Your pension proof is your age. Its more than 50 years old.
You cannot extend the 90 days stay permit received when entering the country with a “single entry Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa” by the tourist extension of 30 days.
All you could do is exit Thailand and re-enter without a visa, if you are a citizen of a country that can get 30 days by entering visa exempt, you will receive a 30 days stamp and can extend this stay on Immigration once for 1900.- THB for 30 more days.
You can however, from up to 30 days before the 90 days stay permit expires, apply for the “1-year Extension of Stay Permit based on Retirement” if you fulfill the financial requirements .
. . . which are either a deposit of a minimum of 800,000.- THB on a Thai bank account in your sole name
or an income affidavit legalized by your embassy which proves that you earn more than 65,000.- THB per month
or, if your embassy doesn’t issue such an affidavit, a bank letter that proves you have transferred from abroad 65,000 THB onto your bank account, for 12 consecutive months, month for month
