When can I apply for an extension of my retirement visa in Thailand?
I have a retirement visa that expires on January 20, 2027. What is the earliest date I can submit an application to renew the visa?
Answer summary
The earliest date you can apply for an extension of your retirement visa is when you have 45 days remaining on your current permission to stay, which means you cannot renew the visa but can extend it before expiration.

not clear on what you mean by “carry on”?Brandon ************
You cannot renew a visa.
You can apply for an extension of stay. In Chiang Mai you can apply for an extension when you have 45 days left on your existing permission to stay.

Thank you for the answer. For the purpose of submitting the visa extension application, can I use a TM30 form that expires about a month later? Or will I be required to renew my rental agreement earlier in order to present a TM30 form that is valid for the coming year?Brandon ************
TM30 does not expire. If your immigration office requires a lease is up to them. Each office sets their own requirements. Go to the office and ask for their list of requirements before you plan to apply so you can prepare.
