Can I apply for a visa in Hanoi with rental income from the UK?

Can I apply for a visa in Hanoi with rental income from the UK?

Sefton ********

Rental income is not work tho, rental income is considered passive income.. Its going to be hit and miss to obtain a workcation DTV on it.

Remember its not 'having an income stream' its 'working online' that this class is for.
