In Hanoi do you just apply online for the DTV? No interview?
Answer summary
When applying for the DTV (Temporary Visa) in Hanoi, the application is primarily conducted online. Interviews are not mandatory but may be requested at the discretion of the embassy, particularly if there are concerns like a previous departure from Vietnam during the application process. Many applicants reported not needing an interview, with some only having to provide additional documentation instead.

Sometimes they will request one if they know you have left Vietnam during the process and when there is a no show, just cancel the application. It’s caught a few applicants out. Otherwise very unlikely

Laos often do interviews.

One applies online and only if embassy feels the need, one is called for an interview. It's not a mandatory occurance.
