Hi everyone 😁 ! I’m preparing for my DTV visa application for next week in Hanoi and have another question that seems to be ambiguous for many people.

I have French passport and there is no “place of issue” inside but I have these sections :

- a country code : FRA

- an Authority : Préfecture de l’Ille-et-Vilaine RENNES

(That’s in France but that seems really long…)

Some people say to just write you country of origin.

Please can French people or people who had a similar situation and already submitted and GET APPROVED advise me on this cause I read a lot of things and it’s unclear…

THANK YOU everyone 😌🙏 have a great day !

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is preparing for a DTV visa application in Hanoi and seeks clarification on what to write as the 'place of issue' for their French passport, which does not have a clear designation. They mention having a country code (FRA) and an authority (Préfecture de l’Ille-et-Vilaine RENNES) but find the information ambiguous. The community provided some hints, suggesting to either write the city where the passport was issued or simply indicate the country of origin.

If Rennes is the city or state or whatever I'd put that
