ORIGINAL POSTERHello all, I'm going to extend a retirement extension that expires on March 17. I've had the required funds in a Thai bank since October 17. I'm wondering when I can apply for the extension and exactly what paperwork I'll need to take with me into the immigration office. Thank you in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the timeline and required paperwork for extending their retirement visa, which expires on March 17. Comments clarify that applications can be made 45 days prior to the expiration at the Phuket Immigration Office, making the earliest application date February 2.
