TLDR : Answer Summary
The general consensus from the comments is that a one-day overstay does not usually affect your ability to obtain a retirement visa in Thailand. However, responses indicate that it is best to avoid overstaying altogether, as experiences may vary depending on the individual immigration officer. It's advised to adhere strictly to immigration regulations.

In this group I read many unfounded answers.

Each Immigration in Thailand interprets the law as they want, it depends on the officer in charge.

I always recommend following the directives issued to the letter, but do not leave it up to them to decide what to do.
