Does the validity of my passport affect the extension of my O retirement visa in Thailand?
*Does anyone know if the valid time of my passport is important when I do an extension of my O retirement visa?
*Because if so I will get a problem. Due to long handlingtime I not manage to get new passport in time for apply extension. What can I do then?
*I see that people sometimes have problem with that they have new passport and need both old passport vis visa and new passport and this occure usually when the valid time of passport is lower than visa time.
I'm in a bit stress just now due to that I can't find an answer anywhere and time ticking.

Answer summary
The validity of your passport is crucial when applying for an extension of your O retirement visa in Thailand. If your passport expires before the next yearly extension is due, the extension will only be valid until the passport's expiration date. This means that if you are facing delays in obtaining a new passport, you should address this promptly to avoid issues with your visa extension.

The validity of your passport TOTALLY does affect your yearly extension application.
IF your passport expires during the year you'd get stamped for your extension you only get your extension stamped in until the passport expires.

Same here. Because of covid I couldn't go to bkk to get a new passport. I got extended to the expiry date of the passport. Just means you have to pay to renew in less than 12 months.
