ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
You cannot technically 'renew' a retirement visa in Thailand; instead, you apply for a 1-year extension based on retirement status. Most immigration offices allow you to apply for this extension when you have 30 days or less remaining on your current visa, though some offices may allow applications with up to 45 days left. A few locations may only accept applications within the last week of the current visa stamp. It's advisable to verify the specific policy of your local immigration office.
