TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for an extension of a retirement visa in Thailand, there is no minimum passport validity requirement. Applicants can extend their visa with a valid passport regardless of its remaining validity. The extension granted will be for either one year or until the passport's expiration date, whichever comes first.

There is no "minimum validity" rule when you apply for an extension. You can apply for an extension with a current and valid passport regardless of length of validity. You will get an extension until the earlier date of one year or passport validity. If your passport is expiring in less than one year, you will get an extension only until that day.
