Extension longer than visa validity.

[Guitar God]

I have a one year Thai spouse visa that is good until 15 October but I just returned to Thailand (had to exit and reenter every 90 days due to the type of visa from Savannaket) and pointed out my visa to immigration and they gave me 90 days. 
 

Does this mean my one year visa is good  for 14 months? 
 

I plan to get a retirement visa next but won’t have 12 straight months of foreign income bank statements to show immigration until May 2025 ( due to withdrawal from ATM in May 2024). 
 

Do I still need to go back to Savannaket before the 15 Oct end date on my original visa to maintain that status? Can I just go a few days before my Dec 15th expiration date?  TIA

Yep, Multi-Entry Non-O could give you 15 months if you enter the country on the last valid-until day (15Oct)

Nope, leaving Thailand after 15 Oct will cancel everything.
Going to Savannaket after 15Dec to obtain next Multi-Non-O will be a good idea though. So you can keep bouncing in and out for another 15 months.

OP, Your multi entry non O based on marriage is a visa  valid for one year.

Any entry prior to expiry you will receive a 90 day stamp.

If you exit and reenter prior to Oct 15 you will receive another 90 day stamp.

So actually a ME Non O gives almost 15 months. 

In addition you can obtain a 60 day extension "to visit wife"

No idea why you want a "retirement visa". 

If married you can move to annual extensions based on marriage.

All that requires is 400k in Thai bank account in your name only for 2 months prior to application for extension.

Not much advantage in obtaining another multi entry non O marriage from Savannakhet.

The op makes no reference to being married, maybe that is why he wants to go the retirement route.

From OP...

"I have a one year Thai spouse visa.." 

It's a multiple entry visa so would not be based on Thai child.
