Is it necessary to stay in Vietnam while applying for a visa?
Is it actually a requirement of the visa to stay in country whilst you are applying (Vietnam) ?
Haven’t seen any reports of in person interviews for HCMC
Would rather travel onto Japan than stay here

Answer summary
The consensus in the comments suggests that it is a requirement to remain in Vietnam while your DTV visa application is being processed, similar to the rules for applying in person at a consulate.

Stay in the country where you are applying for the DTV visa until it's approved.. Period !

You should treat it in the same way as if you were physically applying at a consulate. Applying online doesn't change the requirement to wait for approval
