Which city, Hanoi or HCMC, is better and faster for applying for DTV workation?
Planning a trip to Vietnam to apply DTV workation. Hanoi or HCMC, which is faster and better choice recently? Are they about the same recently?
Answer summary
Both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) can be viable options for applying for a DTV workation, but the speed of the application process may depend on various factors. Some users report that Hanoi may have a slight edge in terms of quicker approvals, while others experienced fast processing times in HCMC, influenced heavily by the completeness of documentation. It's also advised to avoid applying around Thai public holidays to prevent delays.

Just dont apply around Thai public holidays and there are a lot of them, so that can add to delays

Its about your application and whether you are likely to be approved or not, not the City

I was approved 2 weeks ago in Hanoi for workation. Applied on wednesday, more documents requested thursday, docs submitted friday and approved the following week on tuesday.

Some say Hanoi is a bit quicker but it very much is dependent on the quality of your documentation.Someone recently approved in 4 days In HCMC and they posted what they submitted. Check that post so you know what gets approved quickly.
