When should I apply for my Non-O visa extension, and will it affect my expiration date?
I live in Hua Hin and have a 1 year Non-O extension which is guilty to 31th of August 2025. I think it is possible to get a new 1 year extension 45 days before this date. That means I get a new extension 18th of July 2025.
But now I wonder if the new extension will be guilty to 18th of July 2026 or 31th of August 2026. Is there anyone who know this for sure ?

As long as you apply for an extension for the same reason, it will be "added" to the current extension regardless of when you apply. It will be the same "until" date every year.
But,
If you apply for a different reason for Non-O based extension (for example, you apply for a new extension for retirement when you are on an extension for marriage to a Thai), it will be start on the day of application.

To add, you need to make sure your funds are back up to 800k 2 months before the date you apply, not the date the extension runs out.

I am not sure that Hua Hin allows extensions 45 days or less before your current stamp runs out, and think they may be 30 days or less (someone from down there will weigh in though I'm sure 🙂 )
BUT
Even if you applied for the extension the earliest you could do it, the new year extension will be added to your current expiration date.
You don't 'lose time' because you applied early

Aha, that’s was what I believed also 👍Tod *********
@Tore *******
sorry all I read was the comment by Paul Garnett when he said 30 days 😕 I will leave it to you to (y) you should go to that office and get the most recent hand out listing the requirements AND while you're there you should ask them if it's 45 or 30 😛
Sorry for the mix up and best of luck with your up coming extension 🙂

as of Dec 2024, HH Immigration allowed up to 30 days prior for non o visa extension....Tod *********
@Paul ********
as far as I know they've always allowed it when you have had 30 days or less, they didn't just start doing it last Dec 🙂 what we didn't know is if it was one of the offices that allows it when you have 45 days or less
Tod *********
@Paul ********
thanx for that, so then they are like most offices and allow it when you have 30 days or less left on your current stamp Thanx for clearing that up (y)
