ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the best city in Vietnam for expats to apply for their visa, with a specific focus on Ho Chi Minh City (HCM) and Hanoi. One user reported a lengthy process with HCM but noted that Hanoi has a reputation for faster processing. Another user suggested getting help from an agency for a quicker DTV visa process that took only 7 days. Overall, it seems that the choice of city may depend on both processing speed and personal circumstances like accommodation costs.
