I am going to apply tomorrow for a 30 day extension of stay based on my permission of stay (30 days) which will expire on 29 of September. 

Will immigration stamp the 30 days beginning with the first day after expiration date of previous permission of stay or the date the new extension of stay has been approved? 

 

Are there recent experiences from applicants at immigration Pattaya concerning change of visa (from extension of stay to a 3 months retirement based none immigrant "o" visa ?

Your extension will start from the 29th not the day you do the application.

 

Many people have applied for a 90 day non immigrant visa (category O) entry at Jomtien. You not be applying for a change of visa status since you do not have a visa entry. You will need at least 15 days remaining on the 30 day entry or the 30 day extension of it.

General requirements are here but you will need to confirm what Jomtien will want. https://www.immigration.go.th/content/service_80

Since you will have a 30 day extension of a 30 day visa exempt entry you will be using a TM87 Application For Non Immigrant Visa (click to download) form for the visa application. The change of status of stay is when you have a tourist visa entry.
