ORIGINAL POSTER

Currently in Vietnam, about to apply for DTV. I only have my hotel booked through the weekend (not sure if I want to stay in the same city or go to another). Do I need to have a hotel booked all the way until my attended departure date or just the proof that I am currently in Vietnam sufficient? Thanks!
