ORIGINAL POSTER

Applying for my DTV Visa from Ho Chi Minh next week.

Do they ask for Travel / Health Insurance? I currently have SafetyWing and I'm wondering if it's sufficient or if they will ask for documentation.

No travel or health insurance required. I got the remote worker one. I actually have health insurance to protect myself though.
