TLDR : Answer Summary
The process for obtaining a visa in Hanoi, specifically for UK passport holders, appears to have both online and potential in-person components. While one commenter shares their experience of being approved without a visit to the embassy, others note that it is possible to be called in for an interview. Additionally, applicants are advised to prepare copies of their passport pages and remain in Vietnam until their visa decision is made.

They may Ask for a copy of each and every page of your passport...

Be sure to stay in Vietnam until the decision is known about your DTV visa application.
