You are usually spot on with your advice Todd. But in this case you are wrong. I was issued a 6 month METV at the thai consulate in vientiane.
The requirement is that I hold a Lao work visa . Which I do. And that I show proof of 200000 baht in the bank. Which I did. There's a notice on the wall at the consulate informing you that the METV is not available if you are not living in Laos to work
