Can I apply for a DTV Visa in Vietnam using my Norwegian passport while having bank accounts in Canada and Singapore?

DTV Visa Vietnam Visa Application Passport Usage Bank Account Requirements Expat Visa Advice

ORIGINAL POSTER

I'm going to be flying to Hanoi soon and applying for a DTV Visa.  Most of my bank accounts are Canadian and Singaporean, but I'd like to forgo the Vietnam visa fee by entering with my Norwegian passport (also time consideration as my flight leaves soon).  Would it be awkward to apply with my Norwegian passport, if all of my bank accounts are Canadian and Singaporean?

TLDR : Answer Summary

You can apply for the DTV Visa using your Norwegian passport even if your bank accounts are in Canada and Singapore. Many applicants successfully do this without issues, provided that the bank documentation is in English or translated. However, be prepared for the possibility of an interview at the embassy.

Many people use a bank account from overseas, different to their passport country. It's fine as long as it's in English (or translated)

Not awkward but it's more likely you'll get interviewed by the embassy

Many DTVERS are approved with bank accounts that differ from their passport nationality.
