TLDR : Answer Summary

You can apply for a visa extension on the same day your visa stamp expires, but some offices prefer applications within 7 days of expiration. The online application system allows submissions within 14 days prior to expiration. It's advisable to go for the extension early, as it will not result in losing any days of your current stay.

Some offices will not process your extension until within 7 days of visa expiration. The online App for example only allows you to submit a request within 14 days

What online app are you talking about? The one that Jomtien is testing? That's the only immigration office I know that has an appointment application and it's not the only immigration office in the country

You can go between 30 days till the last day of Admitted until stamped in your passport. The Extension of Stay is added to your current stay, so you will not loose days by going early.
