ORIGINAL POSTERWhats best for applying for dtv soft power muay thai, hanoi-vietnam or Laos?
TLDR : Answer Summary
When deciding between Hanoi, Vietnam and Laos for applying for a DTV soft power Muay Thai visa, multiple comments suggest that Hanoi is the preferable option. Users report quicker processing times in Hanoi, with one individual receiving their visa in just four working days and others noting it generally takes about a week. Additionally, applicants are advised to apply as soon as possible, especially considering the upcoming Tet holiday in Vietnam from February 14-22, which may delay processing. Overall, Hanoi seems to have less bureaucracy and quicker responses compared to Laos.
