How early can you apply - 1yr ext Retirement

[mja1906]

Hi, my dad arrived in Thailand on 26th March (30days visa exempt, UK passport) and changed his visa to non-imm 'O' Retirement (UK). He was under consideration and reported to immigration on the 23rd April where they stamped his passport with permission to stay until 8th July. I'm a little confused as I thought they would grant 90days from the 23rd April. Anyhows, what is the earliest he can apply for a 1 yr extension? The immigration staff mentioned something about having to wait 45days first before applying. The money has been in the bank for more than a year, so already seasoned. Thanks !

Can apply up to 45 days early at some offices eg CW,CM etc

And 30 days early most offices

30 to 45 days to RENEW a yearly "extension of stay' DEPENDING on LOCAL IO policy

30 days at some, 45 days at others. You need to ask the IO you intend to use.
