can Iranian passport holders get an ED visa from Vientiane or Savannakhet? I know they're on the "no tourist visa" list there but what about a Non-Imm ED visa?

Important to contact the school where you are going to study. They will help prepare needed documents and will recommend the Thai Consulate for you to use. The school must address a letter to the consulate.
