ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The question about whether it's necessary to book 2 weeks of accommodation in Hanoi when applying for the DTV visa received various responses. Most comments indicated that the duration of accommodation booked is flexible, with suggestions ranging from 7 to 12 days being sufficient. The primary concern noted was to ensure that the applicant remains in the area until the visa processing is complete. It's also mentioned that the Thai embassy and consulate in Vietnam process visas relatively quickly, making a longer booking unnecessary. Overall, for the purpose of the application, a shorter booking seems acceptable as long as it can demonstrate the applicant's location.
