ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
You can generally apply for a Non-O retirement visa extension 30 days before your expiration date at most immigration offices. However, some locations like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket allow applications to be made up to 45 days in advance. In Hua Hin, there is a preference for applications to be made only one week prior. Other regions, like Korat, also permit extensions at 45 days. Be aware that specific conditions such as having 800,000 baht in the bank for at least 60 days before applying may apply.
