There is also the Non-O for reason of retirement issued in-country to a person with at least two weeks left on a tourist visa or visa-exempt entry.

The sign posted at counter L1-32 does say "Online Appointment - Retirement"

I went with an appointment last week, and they did indeed see me at the appointed time (after I grabbed an assistant passing by to show her my appointment slip). I still had to wait 40 minutes for the final sign-off by the supervisor, though, just like in the past. The reentry permit took only seven minutes start to finish, however, with no appointment.

May I ask which immigration office this was?
