Should I apply for a DTV in Vietnam with my Portuguese or Israeli passport as a dual citizen?
Has anyone applied for a DTV in Vietnam as a dual citizen?
I entered Vietnam with my Portuguese passport, but it expires in about a year. My Israeli passport is valid for the full 5 years of the DTV.
Would it be better to:
* Apply with the Portuguese passport (which has my Vietnam entry stamp), or
* Apply with the Israeli passport and include my Portuguese passport with the Vietnam entry stamp plus an explanation letter?
Has anyone successfully done the second option?

Definitely use the Portuguese passport as that has much higher chance of approval.
But are applying as workcation? To what country bank account you receive your salary? That will make a bit difference.

I would make a call to the embassy to double check what your best option is

Since you entered Vietnam on your Portuguese passport, you will need to apply with that one.

No, for dual/multiple passport holders, select a Passport to use and have all documentation and evidence associated with the selected passport only
Unfortunately, you already selected your Portugual Passport for Entry into Vietnam and must use the Portuguese Passport if you want to Apply for a Thai E–Visa right now in Vietnam, but if you Exit Vietnam and make Entry using your Israel Passport into Vietnam or any country, then you would use your Israeli Passport to Apply for a Thai E–Visa or any country's visa when you made Entry with your Israeli Passport
