is it better in Ha Noi or Ho Chi Minh?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the best location for applying for a visa when currently in Da Nang, with opinions divided between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). Some comments suggest that HCMC is more favorable due to a lower denial rate, as Hanoi reportedly has higher rejection rates for visa applications. Additionally, it was mentioned that the HCMC embassy handles applications from Da Nang, which may be more beneficial for expats.

I just read that Hanoi produces more rejections, but it may be because it has the highest traffic in the region.

Vietnam has higher denial rate. Or higher volume. I see a lot being denied in Hanoi this year. I heard Laos was straightforward and easy
