TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Vietnam, it's important to be in the same region as the embassy or consulate where you plan to submit your application. While applicants may be asked to show up in person at the embassy, this may vary. It's advisable to check the specific areas serviced by the embassy in HCMC or the consulate in Hanoi to determine your eligibility for applying from a different location such as Da Nang.

The embassy in Hanoi and consulate in HCMC list the areas of Vietnam that they service. Check online which one to apply through.

Well, you might be asked to show up personally at the embassy you apply through. I personally wasn´t asked though
