TLDR : Answer Summary

An individual with a 30-day tourist visa expiring on June 10 inquires about the requirements for obtaining a retirement visa in Thailand. A commenter notes that to apply for the Non-O visa based on retirement status, one must have no less than 15 days remaining on their current visa (or 21 days in Chiang Mai) at the time they apply. It's advised to visit the local immigration office for the most current requirements, with a link provided to general requirements for the retirement visa for those over 50.

You need to have 15 days remaining at most immigration offices (21 days in Chiang Mai) with your current stamp on the day of your application for in-country Non-O based on being over 50.

You need to go to your local immigration office to get the latest handout (immigration office specific) of requirements.

Here is the general requirements list as FYI.
