DTV in HCMC | Landing in Hanoi

I am landing at Hanoi airport from Bangkok and heading to HCMC after a few days.

I will apply for soft power Muay Thai DTV visa in HCMC... 

As you've to provide your passport stamp photo, I am wondering if this would create an issue since I am applying in HCMC.

I will of course provide proof of my accomodation in HCMC.

Answer summary

The user is landing in Hanoi and will travel to Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) to apply for a soft power Muay Thai DTV visa. They are concerned about potential issues arising from the requirement to provide a passport stamp photo when applying in HCMC instead of Hanoi. Comments suggest varying experiences, with one stating it’s not a problem, another favoring Hanoi for processing speed, and a negative experience from someone who faced delays and entry issues at the HCMC embassy.

I have been waiting in Ho Chi Minh City for three weeks, and they won't even let me enter the embassy. Do not do this in Ho Chi Minh City.
