Early Renewal Of Retirement Visa?

[Art]

Once when I was at Immigration, I asked how far in advance I could renew my one-year retirement visa. The answer was "one month in advance".

Now I'd like to plan out-of-country travel during that one-month window. Has anyone heard of an exception to the one-month in advance rule? That is, could I renew 2 months in advance?

If no one has heard of anything other than one month in advance, is there a formal procedure for asking for an "exception" to the rule?

Thanks.

Ask Art.

If unable to do you can go through the application process again when you return; after obtaining new O visa.

A guy on the nanaplaza board says he got his retirement visa renewed 70 days early at Suan Plu. He said he felt one important factor in the positive outcome was his abililty to show airline tickets for his trip.
