ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
It is not mandatory to get a 30-day extension after entering Thailand under a visa exemption if you intend to apply for a retirement Non-O visa. However, it may be advisable depending on your specific circumstances, as you need to have 15-21 days left on your valid stamp to apply. Some local offices might suggest it as a policy, but it's generally not a strict requirement.
