TLDR : Answer Summary

If your friend's retirement visa is set to expire on 18/4 and he is currently unable to return to Pattaya, he needs to take action before the expiration date. It is crucial for him to apply for a new Extension of Stay prior to that date to avoid any overstaying penalties, which could complicate future visa applications.

He was able to appy from 27 Feb, but okay.

If he changes his address to the place he seems to be living now, he can apply at the local Immigration Office.
