Yes leaving shortly, one thing this supervisor said was that the retirement visa, will change early next year and she did not think I would be able to get health insurance for an O-X visa, looks like they are going to kill it off with the coming changes

I am going through this now in Bangkok, they noticed last year when transferring my stamp to new passport that I had not been checking in yearly it took 5 hours while they checked the previous years bank and health insurance, lucky I took everything with me, and told me off for not doing the yearly checks even though they told ne when I first arrived just come back in 5 years and get second 5 year stamp, went back recently to do it, they said no, you need a new police record from you home country as well as original statements showing money came from Uk, etc etc, a helpful supervisor came to speak with me, said best leave country come back in 60 day exempt and apply non O

I should have also said. An O-X visa holder has to report yearly to immigration for your banked money and health insurance to be checked, this is probably what confused the IO

I have an O-X visa and have to do 90 day reports. The IO is wrong only the LTR visa let's you report once a year
