I applied with Falcon through Mr Prakan online on the 17th of November. Still waiting but running out of time my OA visa due soon. I will avoid both of these next time.I will probably renew now with AXA the cost has gone up after one year by 14,000 bht because of age 61.
if you apply like 2 months before you then have 90 days to enter Thailand and the day you arrive that's when the visa starts.You can get 2 years out of it without having to deposit money in a Thai bank account.
