Does anyone know if it is possible to apply for a one year retirement extension of stay (based on OA visa) in a Thai Immigration Office with a passport whose remaining validity date is less than one year ? Thank you

Your extension will be stamped till expiry of your pp.

 

Your extension stamp will be to your PP expiry or your health insurance expiry whichever comes first.....

Extensions from a non O-A require 40/400 health insurance. 

The OP would need cover till date of expiry of pp or longer to receive extension up to date of his pp expiry

Out of interest, i take it that would also apply to subsequent extensions?

Yes.

Hence why many folk that had a non O-A at some point kill it off by exit Thailand without a reentry permit and obtain a non O retirement.

Can do that by entering thailand visa exempt and obtain a non O in Thailand or obtain non O at consulate outside of Thailand.

Extensions to non O retirement do not require insurance.

If you had a non O-A and are married you can do extensions based on marriage and insurance is not required.

The married bit is probably what I was thinking about.
