Is it possible to apply for DVT from Vietnam (Hanoi) as a tourist in the country?

Applying for the workation/remote worker path, does it matter if my employer is not in my home country?

TIA!
Answer summary
It is possible to apply for a DVT visa while you are a tourist in Vietnam. Additionally, it does not matter if your employer is located outside your home country, as many applicants in similar situations have successfully obtained this visa.
