ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone. I am thinking of going to Hanoi to apply for the DTV, because I have heard they are less strict than in Ho Chi Minh city. 

But I was wondering after sending the application online in Hanoi, can I go to another city like Da Nang for example? 

I ask this because Da Nang is part of the Ho Chi Minh Thai embassy area, so I don't know if I can move around Vietnam like that.

Thank you so much 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary

You can travel to other cities in Vietnam after submitting your DTV visa application online in Hanoi, but you should be prepared for possible requests for additional proof of your location or an interview. It's recommended to stay in a city served by the Hanoi embassy to avoid complications.

You can visit other areas after you submit. Just be aware of having to return in case of an interview/additional evidence of location request.

They may ask for further proof of location, so best to stay in a city that is served by the Hanoi embassy. For what it's worth, we didn't have any problem with Ho Chi Minh, 5 days to process
