I would like to know how many days do I need to get the education visa since I have a visa interview.

I ordered a interview next Tuesday, I am not sure if I can go to Thailand at about Dec 18.

If anyone knows, please tell me, thank you very much.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the time frame to acquire an education visa before traveling to Thailand, specifying their interview is scheduled for next Tuesday and they plan to travel by December 18. Comments clarify that the effectiveness of education visas for entry may depend on the type of program (language or university) and suggest making flexible travel arrangements due to uncertainties.

Currently Ed visas (for language or Muay Thai are not valid for a certificate of entry. If your Ed visa would be for a university course or you are an international student then you would be able to apply for a certificate of entry.

This is a "piece of string" question. Impossible to answer - especially with incomplete information.

Regarding your flight and quarantine hotel, make sure you only make fully flexible bookings just in case of issues.
