When should I apply for my Non-O visa extension, and will it affect my expiration date?

The user inquires about applying for a new 1-year Non-O visa extension in Hua Hin 45 days before the current extension expires. They seek clarification on whether the new extension will be valid until July 18, 2026, or August 31, 2026. Comments suggest that the new extension's end date will typically match the original expiration date, meaning it would expire on August 31, 2026, if the same extension reason is applied for. Additionally, it's noted that funding requirements should be met two months prior to the application, and there may be specific local rules regarding the timing of the extension application.
