Visas cannot be renewed so what do you have now? An unexpired visa or an extension of stay?

It was ok for Jomtien Immigration last week.
Maybe but it is not the LATEST form

I used this one today new_FillableTM7form.pdf at Jomtien immigration no raised eyebrows.
That is the latest version of the form.

I downloaded it from this page for Jomtien Immigration and it was ok on March 04
That link is to "The Bangkok Directory" and that is not the latest TM7 which can be found in a pinned topic in the Thai visa forum.

There are about 10% of the TV community who are "holier than thou", compassionateless jerks can't get enough of telling everyone else how better off they are than everyone else and how those who are not wealthy would be better off simply flying off a building in Pattaya then asking for money via GoFundMe. Have any of you heartless people ever considered that the Go Fund Me community is made up of compassionate humans who have empathy of others, who believe in the saying that, "There but for the grace of God go I?"
How many Thousand Baht have you "compassionately" donated?

Mmm Yet another 'Go Fundme" appeal - I have no sympathy he made a choice and must now live with that choice. I will not be donating.

It should have been turned over to the FBI office in Bangkok for investigation and the extension denied or revoked.
I never knew of anyone that lied and I certainly never did but I still have to believe on a percentage basis that the numbers are low- The Embassy could have eliminated many by simply asking for documentation and then Thai Imm - if suspecting an issue also ask for the proof.
I was witness to an undignified performance by an American who was asked by an IO to evidence what was stated in an affidavit.

You can apply for an extension up to 2weeks early. The extension dates from the end of your current permission to stay(stamped in your passport). The visa is used and is of no further use.

Just to clarify: Who exactly does the 20K requirement apply to? (to the extent that it applies - either theoretically or in practice - to anyone).
I'm about to head to Veetnaaam in 3 weeks for a few days. I'm in Thailand for - I hope - the rest of my life on retirement extension and I can't remember ever being asked before to show cash on arrival back in LOS, but I get nervous when I constantly read these things on TV ...
If you do not fit the profile you will not be asked.

No one is "forced" into making application for an extension of stay but the cost of an extension(1900Bht/year) is cheaper than buying long haul flights + the costs of an O-A visa.

Yes - you can apply for an O visa based on retirement at an immigration office if you meet the requirements for a subsequent extension of stay.

clearly you dont have first hand experience Karl, but thanks anyway
Clearly, you are mistaken in your assumption!

if you move province then submit a change of address/TM30 to the relevant IO who will then process your request for an Extension of Stay.
Help with renewing retirement visa
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

The OP said, "I am due to renew my retirement visa in 10 days"(sic)- What are you having a problem understanding? No mention was made of an extension or 'renew "permission of stay based on retirement", hence my question.
You might be an "expert" clairvoyant but most are not.
