Hi I'm preparing the documents required.⌛️
How many days in advance prepare the application? Is it reasonable to have it ready 2 weeks before, and then when arriving in Hanoi paying and submit?

TLDR : Answer Summary
It is advisable to prepare your Soft Power Application documents at least two weeks in advance. However, you can only submit your application and payment once you arrive in Hanoi, at the designated embassy. After submission, the processing time for a decision can take between 4 to 12 working days, depending on individual case circumstances.

So,
1. first you need to prepare the documents
2. Full up the application form and submit
3. Pay for the application and wait
You are allowed to apply and submit only once you are in the jurisdiction area of the Embassy you have picked ie in your case once you are in Hanoi.
From submission/payment to decision can be anywhere between 4-12 working days in Hanoi. It varies from case to case.
