Okay it's time for my Non-O 1 year retirement visa extension for another year. Requirements change frequently so need to confirm requirements. As far as I recall I need 1. a copy of my passport front page with photo, 2. a copy of the original visa, 3. a copy of the 1 yr. extension, 4. a copy of the TM6 Departure card and 5. a copy of TM30 and TM47 and 6. a passport photo. Other banking requirements are a copy of all the pages in my bank book showing 800,000 deposit along with a statement from the bank for the previous 1 year period.... Did I miss anything?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses the current requirements for renewing a Non-O 1-year retirement visa in Thailand. Key documents mentioned include copies of the passport front page, visa, extension, TM6, TM30, TM47, a passport photo, and banking details showing a deposit of 800,000 THB. Comments suggest verifying these requirements with the local immigration office, as they may vary by location. Additional insights clarify that extending within the same visa category generally does not lead to losing days of the current stay.

When will the new extended visa start date? In other words, If we apply for extension let say 15 days before expiration, do we lose 15 days? Thanks.

, that depends on the reason of an extension. As a general rule, if you are applying for an extension for the same reason as your current stamp, it will be added to the current stamp. No day will be lost. But if you apply for an extension for a different reason from your current one, the extension would start on the day of application. You will lose rest of your current stamp.

You need a copy of all pages in your passport with a Thai stamp. You also need a letter from the bank along with the statement and a copy of your bank book updated on the day

 I thought a copy of all the pages in my bank book was not necessary now but maybe I'm wrong. Thanks for your input.

 enough pages with concurrent entries to prove you haven't dipped below 800K or 400K based on the requirement for the last year on any given day

 The statement wasn't required the last time I renewed. Immigration just handed it back to me. The bank charges 100 baht for the statement but if all pages of the passbook are copied the statement is redundant.

 Went with a buddy yesterday to CW. They want bank book and 12-month statement. They tick off one against the other.

Most important. Where are you doing your extention? Ask your local immigration. There are 75+ immigration offices and there are local differences.

The ONLY way to know what is required this year as you seek the one year extension of stay as retired is to ASK YOUR THAI IMMIGRATION OFFICE.

The items you have listed are usually required.

WHICH Thai Immigration office will you be using?
