TLDR : Answer Summary

Traveling from Vietnam to Singapore before receiving a visa approval is not advisable. Multiple comments emphasize the importance of waiting for visa results before leaving Vietnam, as doing so may risk losing the application fee and jeopardize the visa process. It's recommended to keep all pages of your passport accessible in case the embassy requests them.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

Do not leave the country where you have applyed, until the visa is approved.

You risk loosing the 10.000 Baht fee and be rejected.

It is not wise to depart from the country before knowing the results. Otherwise, you need to scan all pages of your passport before leaving Vietnam as the embassy can ask your all visa pages from your passport.
