TLDR : Answer Summary

To apply for Permanent Residency (PR) in Thailand, you must have at least three years of unbroken extensions on your Non-B visa. If you complete your three years in December 2020, you will not be eligible to apply this year, as PR applications open only after you meet the three-year requirement at the time of filing. It's recommended to visit the Chaengwattana Immigration Office for detailed information on required documents and application timelines.

You will hit the required 3 years here on unbroken yearly extensions of stays TOO late to apply this year :(

You have to have the 3 years of unbroken extensions when you FILE your application

Unless you did all your paperwork and then held the application until the last moment you will have to wait until next year

They have no even opened up the applications for PR yet.

GO out to Chaengwattana Immigation office and talk to the people in the PR application area. They will give you the hand out that lists the documents you need, how many of them etc, and they will also tell you IF you can apply this year or wait for next year.
