Can I apply for the DTV visa in Hanoi after submitting my application in Da Nang?

Nov 30, 2025

Hi,

I am planning to go to Vietnam to apply for the DTV. I will be flying out to Da Nang tomorrow to submit the application, but I would like to have the process reviewed/processed in Hanoi, not Ho Chi Minh. Could anyone who has applied for the DTV from Da Nang but had it handled in Hanoi, or anyone with relevant knowledge, please tell me if this will be an issue? If it's not possible, I am prepared to fly to Hanoi again.

Thank you in advance
