TLDR : Answer Summary

An American with a non-B work visa should apply for a one-year Extension of Stay at their local Immigration Office 30 days before their visa expires. If the employer cannot meet the extension requirements, then a new Single Entry Non-Immigrant B visa must be obtained from a Thai Consulate or Embassy, which provides an additional 90 days of stay.

Apply for what? If you also hold the work permit and work in Thailand you can with help of your employer apply 30 days before the last day for an 1 year Extension of Stay at your local Immigration Office. If your company can not meet the requirements you need new company papers and visit a Thai Consulate or Embassy for a new Single Entry Non Immigrant B visa, which will give you another 90 days of stay.
