TLDR : Answer Summary

The ability to obtain an Ed visa while in Thailand can depend on the specific university's policies. Generally, universities may issue a 90-day Non-Immigrant Type ED Visa which can sometimes be processed inside Thailand, but often requires documentation sent beforehand or in some cases, needs to be applied for at a Thai consulate in a neighboring country after arrival. It's essential to communicate with the university regarding the necessary documents to ensure compliance with immigration authorities.

Some times the universities can get a 90 day Non-Immigrant Type ED visa issued inside the country, sometimes they send you paperwork to get it in your country BEFORE you come here, and sometimes they give you paperwork to get the 90 day single entry ED visa from a thai consulate in a neighboring country after you get here.

If you are coming from the Philippines, you should ask your university to send you documents and then apply for a proper visa. But if you choose to go out without securing it, the PH immigration will consider you as a "tourist" and you need to satisfy them that you are traveling as a "tourist", you can't simply tell them that you are going out to study in a university without any proof of acceptance from that university.

the University will normally send the papers to you, so you enter with an ED visa, or they will help you with application inside Thailand. But if you like to travel, talk to your University if they can give you the papers to apply in neighbor countries.

Your University should send the needed documents to you so you can apply for the ED Visa before you travel to Thailand.
