How long before due date can I renew my retirement visa

The renewal period for a retirement visa in Thailand varies by location and can range from 30 days to 3 months before the expiry date. Common practices from different regions include:
- Chiang Mai: Typically 30 to 40 days.
- Sri Racha: Up to 2 months.

It seems to depend on which office you go to. Last time I renewed mine it was 7 weeks before expiry - at Sri Racha Immigration (they told me it was possible up to two months before). I understand some other offices say only one month.
