I’m a Canadian holding a non o retirement visa that expires on June 4th, 2023. I understand that I can apply for a one year extension as early as 30-45 days before the expiry date. My question is, when is the last day that the extension can be submitted? Is there a minimum amount of days required? I’m currently out of the country and need this info to plan my return to Thailand. Thank you kindly.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A Canadian with a NON-O retirement visa expiring on June 4, 2023, asks about the last day to apply for a one-year extension while currently out of the country. It's confirmed that there is no minimum number of days required for submission; the last day to apply is the expiration date itself, though it's advised not to wait until the last day to avoid potential issues.

Do you already meet the financial requirements?

if he’s a Canadian passport holder, he can get an affidavit of income from the Canadian embassy.

nope no minimum days required,

The last day you can apply is the date your current stamp is valid until

BUT

I wouldn't recommend waiting that long, because if you're a document short you run the risk of going on overstay trying to sort it out

You don't lose any days going early, as the new extension is added to your current expiration date..
