is it necessary to book 2 weeks in Hanoi applying for the DTV or can I just book 10 days accommodation?

(Does it matter for the application?)
Answer summary
The question is whether one must book two weeks of accommodation in Hanoi when applying for a DTV visa or if a shorter period of ten days suffices. Responses suggest that while booking duration does not drastically affect the application, having a booking can be helpful for location proof. It is advisable to stay until the visa processing is complete, which typically takes 1-3 working days in Hanoi.

The Thai embassy and consulate in Vietnam process visas quite fast. The announced general processing time in Ho Chi Minh City is five working days and in Hanoi, it's only 1-3 working days.

For the application it doesn't matter but you do need to remain in the area until visa processing completes

No it doesn't matter for the application, other than the fact that you may use the booking to prove your location.
