Can anyone tell me what the grace period is for renewing the one year extension based on retirement after it's official expiry date? Mine is due for renewal Thursday 11th but with the Jomtiem office only re-opening that day after a one week shutdown, I imagine it's going to be "chocker" and I'd rather delay going a few days if I can do so without penalty.
TLDR : Answer Summary
There is no grace period for renewing a one-year extension of stay based on retirement in Thailand. If the extension is not applied for before the expiration date, the process must be restarted. Applicants can submit their renewal request up to 30 days before the current extension expires. If renewal is delayed past the expiration date, an overstay fine of 500 baht per day will accrue.
