Is it possible DN1 or DN2 can be obtained by doing volunteer work? That would avoid all the financial and tax hassles.

I can't answer your question, but I want to clarify that DN is business visa, which gives you only one year stay unless you have a contract. Investor visa is ĐT, which gives you 3 - 5 year TRC.

A fun trivia: There are two Ds in Vietnamese alphabets, the first one is D (pronounced as "zay"), and the second one is Đ (pronounced as "day"). DN is pronounced as zay-en and ĐT is pronounced as day-tay.

I thought D was pronounced with a Y sound in the south and a Z sound in the north. Isn't G sort of the same? When I ask for bean sprouts I say gia (ya) but I hear other people say "za"

The Y sound that you hear is an incorrect pronunciation. Many, but not all, Southerners have lazy tongue (my nonscientific observation) thus they grab the easiest sound their tongues can made.

G alone is pronounced as g in English. Gi is pronounced as z.
