I'm due to renew my yearly visa based on being married to a Thai here in Thailand. Do I need to apply for another yearly extension 1 month before my current one runs out (26th November)? Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
You can apply for your yearly visa extension based on being married to a Thai citizen when you have 30 days or less remaining on your current visa. Specifically, for your visa expiring on November 26th, you can apply starting October 27th. While you have the option to wait until the last day to apply, it is advisable to submit your application earlier to avoid potential issues.

the SOONEST you can apply is when you have 30 days or less left on it (so Oct 27th is the soonest you can do it) but you can wait and apply right down to the day your current extension runs out (although that's not recommended).

There is no rule on how early you have to apply for an extension.
