TLDR : Answer Summary
You can generally apply for your yearly retirement extension of stay 30 to 45 days before your current extension expires, depending on the local immigration office. It's advisable to confirm with your specific office, as some locations like Hua Hin allow applications up to 45 days in advance.

All offices are 30 days prior, a few are as long as 45, best you check with your office to confirm, unless it is less than 30 days that you want to apply.
