TLDR : Answer Summary

You can apply for a 1-year extension for your retirement visa when you have 30 days or less left on your current Non-O visa. It's advisable to do so as soon as possible, even up to 45 days in advance, to avoid any issues, but applying with just one week remaining is permitted as long as all necessary documents are ready.

I tend to do my yearly extention as soon as possible. In Chiang Mai that is 45 days in advance. My reason is you never know what might change. And as said the extention date still stays the same.

The last day you can apply for your extension is the date on your current stamp, as long as you are meeting all requirements.

you can apply for an extension when you have 30 days or less left on your current stamp. SO no issues at all applying when you have a week left on your stamp.

There is no upside to waiting until the last minute because they add the extension on to your current expiration date (you don't lose any time applying early)
