Any suggestions on the recommended length of stay in Ho Chi Minh City while applying for a DTV visa?
Answer summary
The recommended length of stay in Ho Chi Minh City while applying for a DTV visa is typically around 2 weeks. This allows extra time in case the authorities request additional documents. It's advised to plan your stay until the visa application is either granted or refused.

Anonymous participant probably okay if no added documents are requested.

Possibly added week for spouse DTV ... Look at the DTV Visa posts about getting it in Vietnam... read their experiences.
