Will an entry stamp or hotel confirmation suffice for my DTV visa application in Vietnam?

ORIGINAL POSTER

I live in Thailand in rented apartments, having to travel to Ho Chi Minh to submit the DTV application online - to prove the current location in Vietnam am I right in thinking an entry stamp to Vietnam will suffice or perhaps a hotel stay confirmation ? 

Also how long is it taking roughly for the visa to be approved ? 

Any help is much appreciated

TLDR : Answer Summary

To prove your current location in Vietnam for the DTV visa application, both an entry stamp and a hotel booking will be accepted as proof. The processing time for the visa is generally around 5 working days, based on information from the consulates.

entry stamp to vietnam and your hotel booking will work for proof you're there

consulates there have said they're doing 5 working day processing time,

You provide your friend address and some form of their ID. You do not need to stay at a hotel.
