I'm on a 45 day visa exempt stamp. Can I apply for the non-O at any time? Or does it have to be within a certain number of days to my admitted until date?
Answer summary
You generally need to have between 14-21 days remaining on your visa exempt stay to apply for a Non-O visa in Thailand. It is advised to have at least 15 days left before your departure date, as you will receive an 'under consideration' notice when applying, which requires you to return after the designated period to obtain your Non-O stamp.

Right as above but 15 days minimum as they will give you a notification dated to return 15 days later for your Non-O stamp. I had to extend my 45 tourist visa because with APAC being in town it pushed me right passed my 15 day point since all the offices were closed because of it.
