Songkran- retirement visa extension

[frankpelagic]

Apologies if previously answered, did look, couldn't find a thread.  My annual extension for my "Retirement" visa runs out Sunday 28th April.

I want to be well clear of LOS around Songkran.  Any idea of the earliest date I can apply to Jomtien for my next 12 month extension with multiple entry. (This will be my 8th or 9th, usually a formality).

Ideally early - mid March would be ideal.

Thanks

I am in a similar situation. My retirement extension is due in 1st week of May and a couple of years back I applied for renewal last week of March. It was about 40days ahead of time. The IO at Jomtien made no comment and processed the renewal as normal.

 

An early March may be a stretch, but If you go 45 days or less ahead of time you should be OK.

Thanks dabhand. 45 days prior should put me about 10 or 11 March.
