Yes you can ask for an extension until your visitor status expires.

Yes you can ask for an extension until your visitor status expires.

But in the Government site says that you should always apply at least 30 days before the current status expire, doesn’t it means that I can’t?

You should but it is not mandatory.

It recommends 30 days but it is not a requirement. You can apply up until your status actually expires.
