Do I need to book an appointment for a one-year extension of my O visa in Thailand?
Excuse the dumb question but I need to ask it.
I am currently on a 90 day O visa based on retirement and will be applying for a one year extension. When the time comes, do I have to book an appointment with immigration or can I just show up and join the queue.
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

Answer summary
For applying for a one-year extension of your 90-day O visa based on retirement in Thailand, booking an appointment with immigration is not required, but it is highly recommended to shorten waiting times. Some users note that visiting without an appointment may lead to longer wait times.
