Is it okay to arrive in Vietnam on a one-way ticket for a DTV visa application in Hanoi?

Question

Hanoi DTV question + advice
I have decided to go to Hanoi to apply for my DTV visa.

As there is no accurate way of telling how long it will take to approve the visa, is it acceptable to arrive in Vietnam on a one way ticket and will the Thai Embassy look for a confirmed flight to Thailand.

Changing ticket dates with Air Asia is impossible.

I am not that great ( understatement  ) with stuff like changing documents to PDF, compressing them  ...  Etc,  can anyone recommend an Agent or someone / somewhere in Hanoi who knows what the Embassy requires and can upload what's needed correctly.

Can anyone recommend from their experience a decent place ( budget ) to stay in Hanoi. I know that booking.com has lots but looking for a personal recommendation.

Thanks

If you don't want to book AirAsia because you think you can't change or cancel the ticket without a refund or fees, then why don't you book a different airline with a fully refundable ticket? Almost every country requires an onward ticket even if the immigration officer doesn't check for it most of the time. But you will have a problem if by chance they do ask you for it and you don't have it. Simply book a fully refundable ticket, carry a copy of it through immigration, and then if you don't want to use the ticket, cancel it for a full refund.

Changing dates with air Asia is definitely not impossible

It takes 2-4 weeks after submission. Applying in April will take longer because there are many Thai public holidays which Thai embassies in Hanoi will closed for several days

I use Air Asia, one can change flight dates around. So many in this group recommend Ilovepdf. One can merge docs, separate pdf into docs again, rearrange orders within a pdf and much more. A very easy and handy one click tool.

I stayed at Fraser Suites while waiting for DTV processing - it was fine - restaurant, connected to a small mall, pool, gym and for the weekend easy to get into center of town - they also run a shuttle if it works for your schedule

Issa Compass seemed to do well in Hanoi. They also offered a money back guarantee and the fees were not high compared to others.

I was just looking on Agoda for serviced apartments in Hanoi and found several around the lake that looked nice and were reasonably priced!

How long do you want to stay in Hanoi, and starting (about) when?

Chatgpt helped me organize my documents and had a lot of useful tips. Also ctrl+p makes a pdf. Put all your docs in pdfs, then find an open source pdf merger on line. Don't forget to use a cover letter.
