My one year extension of stay expires at the end of April. I need to get back to US for Taxes and SS application. Is it possible to extend earlier than 30 days stated. I have read some places are 45 days which would be great. I live in Samut Prakan. Is Samut Prakan Immigration office one that will allow the extension 45 days prior to expiration.

If you cannot extend just leave and apply for a new Non-O before you return then all future extensions will not be in the April period

Not necessarily. If he’s been transferring 65k monthly for the past year & doesn’t skip a beat while he’s gone, he’ll satisfy the monthly income option, regardless of where he applies.

You were “bringing in the money” sounds like you either had a marriage extension or are from a country whose embassy still provides income verification letters. Retirement extensions offer two ways to qualify, with 800k in the bank the only option for most people, especially if their embassies no longer provide letters. This is because the monthly income method requires proof you’ve transferred funds from a foreign source into a Thai bank account in your name only. In the OP’s case, he’s been here for a year already, so theoretically he can go the monthly income route if all requirements are otherwise maintained.

You are aware you can apply for SS at the US embassy in Manila in the Philippines. They handle all social security issues, including new applications, for most of South East Asia including Thailand. You can also file your taxes from Thailand.
