TLDR : Answer Summary
The community suggests that it is generally possible to renew the OA Retirement visa 30 to 45 days before its expiration. Specifically, the Bangkok office allows renewals up to 45 days early, while other local offices might accept renewals 30 days in advance. To confirm the specific policy, it is advisable to visit or contact your local immigration office.

You can extend your OA vise 45 days early if you use the Bangkok office

If you don't make it, then search group for coming in on visa exempt, then apply for 90 Non-Imm O visa, then 1 year "O" extension

most offices will let you renew 30 days early,(some as early as 45). pop in and ask your local office
