Answer summary
When applying for the DTV in Vietnam, technically a departure ticket is required, but in practice, immigration seldom checks for it. Airline staff may verify a return or onward ticket before boarding. To avoid issues, travelers often purchase inexpensive tickets (such as bus tickets) out of caution. It's important to note that requirements may vary depending on your nationality.

Thank you for your comment ! That’s helpful for me.Humble******
Technically you need a ticket but I've never seen immigration check. Airline staff MAY check before boarding the flight to Vietnam and deny boarding. Some people just buy a cheap throwaway bus ticket HCMC to Phnom Phen to be on the safe side.
DTV application you just need to put the flight number.
Edit: May also depend on your passport country. As everywhere in SE Asia certain nationalities get the short end of the stick...

OPHumbleJanken I think I’ll get only entering ticket because I don’t know how long it takes for approval.
