You can be rejected at any consulate if they feel your application is not appropriate. Don't use an agent, cover off all the bases for the route you apply under and you shouldn't have a problem.

In your cover letters about activity and finance, make sure your English is perfect. Not like you did here.

Anyways, it's about that you are in the region covered by either Hanoi or HCM when you apply. It's not about where you arrived in Vietnam.

Proof of residence booking and payment and timestampApp picture of you in HCM in front of a easily identifiable building/monument. Splash on proofs.

I would say apply at the embassy/consulate depending where you’re gonna be based while waiting for approval (regardless of the point of entry in Vietnam)…

The website is quite user friendly and will let you know which one to pick.

Remember you could be asked for proof of location, so I wouldn’t move around the country for at least 10 days.

According to this group, the embassy in Hanoi is much quicker and less strict than the consulate in Ho Chi Minh, but that’s is just subjective opinions.

Best of luck!
