You are not clear what your mate has.

Is it a one year O-A visa for retirement issued in Oz with police report and medical? It is a single entry non immigrant O visa issued in Oz to check on retirement options and only valid for 90 days? Is it an extension of stay from immigration in Thailand extending a visa for one year on the basis of retirement?

If he is sure he must leave according to the class of entry he currently has he can easily visit Vientiane/Penang or another Consulate to obtain a tourist visa which will provide him another 90 days (with allowed 30 day extension) and has no need to visit Oz to obtain a non immigrant visa. If he has been here on visa entry he could also just do border runs for 30 day stays up to 90 days total.

Sorry he has a ret,over 50, 800,00.and wants to finnish it,can he extend it for 3months,or dose he have to finnish it to get an extra 30 to 90m days extenion. either at pattaya imag, or border run

..i do it on my visa O,but was not sure on the ret.

I guess that you mean he has an extension of stay from Immigration for one year based on a bank account deposit of 800k but is not intending to remain in Thailand for longer than about three more months? But again you are not clear if he has a visa entry or an extension of stay. If he has an extension of stay issued by immigration on the basis of 800k in a Thai bank account for retirement he has the following options:

He can repeat his 800k extension (with same bank deposit proof) and just leave after 3 months.

He can depart and obtain a tourist visa to cover the three months.

He can depart and obtain a 30 day entry three times.

There is no 3 month extension of stay provision.
