Is there an online site and list to download the documents needed to renew my Retirement Non O Visa? Also what document shows the expiration date and how many days before it expires to renew the visa?

TLDR : Answer Summary
To extend your Retirement Non O Visa, you need to understand that you are applying for an extension of stay rather than renewing the visa. The expiration date of your current permission to stay is located in your passport. You can apply for an extension when you have 30 days or less left at most immigration offices, and 45 days or less at some offices. Requirements for the extension may vary by immigration office, so it's advised to check with your local immigration office for the specific documentation needed.

You do not know the expiration date? It is stamped in your passport.

You should always visit Immigration as you start to prepare for an extension especially those that have financial requirements so you are preparing the documentation exactly as THEY require it.

Thailand has so many Immigration officers and the requirements for an extension of stay vary between offices. There is no standard list of requirements. Go to your local Immigration office and they will give you their requirement.

You cannot renew a visa. You can apply for an extension of stay. It's a brand new application every year. Nothing is renewed.

The expiration date of your permission to stay is in your passport. You can apply for an extension when you have 30 days or less left at most immigration offices, and 45 days or less left at some offices.
