I have Spouse/ Family Visa. Rather than doing another border run, I would like to apply for a yearly extension at my local immigration office. When is the latest date I can do that?
Answer summary
The latest date to apply for a yearly extension based on a Spouse/Family Visa in Thailand is the expiration date of your current visa stamp. However, it is recommended to apply earlier—ideally at least 30 days before your stamp expires—to ensure you have ample time to gather necessary documentation and address any potential issues.

Thank you one and all for your suggestions and contributions
When you apply for a yearly extension based on marriage you get a 30 day under consideration stamp in your passport. that's the date you go back to get the year extension inked in. OR if it's going to be earlier they call you and tell you when you come back.
This is what the 30 day under consideration stamp looks like when you apply for the year extension based on marriage
I would suggest you stop in to the immigration office BEFORE you're going to apply for the extension and get the hand out (if they have one) listing the required documentation, photos, copies, etc so that when you do go for the extension you have what you need to pull it off.
Also remember, extensions based on marriage go 'under consideration' for 30 days and then you go back and get the year extension inked into your passport. During that time they usually make an in home visit to make sure the marriage is on the up and up..
So you would be applying for a yearly extension of stay based on marriage to a thai by meeting the financial requirements of 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months prior to you applying for the extension right?
The LATEST date would be the day your current stamp expires <- BUT I would say don't hold it off that long because if you're missing a document you got no time left to get it and get back to apply for the extension..
