"Jutst a quick question if you don't mind."

 

I have never seen a quote such as " Just a long drawn out question if you dont mind"

 

So, my question is what constitutes a "Quick Question"

Actually believe up to 30 days before is normal, with some, such as Bangkok, allowing 45 days prior to expiration.  You lose nothing by doing early (unlike for 90 day reports) as the one year extensions will start from current expiration date. 

In this case the question is about a changed visa to non-O, which normally takes place after two weeks from entry date and extends the permission to stay to 90 days from the first entry date. By the time for application for non-O, the applicant needs 800k baht in a Thai bank deposit, which often will be a new bank account. As the funds needs to mature 2 months before application for a one year extension of stay based on retirement, the next application will normally take place two weeks before the non-O permitted period og 90-days expire.

 

The following years you can apply for one-year extension of stay up to 45 days before your present period expires; however, some immigration offices only allows 30 days.
