ORIGINAL POSTERWe would like to go to Vientiane to try to get our Thailand ED visa. I am from the Philippines and my partner is from the US. Do we need to make an appointment or walk-in is still allowed?
Side question - we are trying to get into Thailand first to get our letter from the Ministry of Education that we will take with us to Laos. What are the chances that we will get in on a visa-exempt to Thailand? Our first entry was November 2018, and we have been in Thailand on and off (every 4 months, we leave the kingdom to go to our home country). Thank you in advance for your response.

TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for a Thailand ED visa at the Thai consulate in Vientiane, you need to make an appointment as walk-ins are not accepted. Regarding entering Thailand on a visa-exempt basis, there's a good chance of entry as long as you haven't exceeded the allowed number of visa-exempt entries for the year.

Ed Visa. To apply for this visa you need documents from your school.
Your school prepares those documents for you, one of these document is addressed to the Consul of City .................. And you guessed it, that is the city you have to apply for this visa.
It is not your choice to go around, you may discus with your school that you prefer other locations. Good luck.

As long as you don't have TWO 30 day visa exempt entries by LAND so far this year you could border bounce and get a 30 day visa exempt entry while you're waiting for your paperwork to be finished from your school

1. You need an appointment
2. You should have no problem entering Thailand on a visa exampt, however I don't know why the school can't mail the letter to you.
