TLDR : Answer Summary

It is advisable to apply for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) on the same day you enter Vietnam or Indonesia, as long as your documents are in order. Delaying the application may not be necessary since some countries have limited stays, and processing times can vary depending on the documentation required.

Yes apply on the same day as long as your documents are in order. In fact I’d recommend it , since some country’s have limited stays ( 30 days) some people have been know to have extended processing times of extra docs are required
