Unfortunately not. It has to be paid locally and in MYR.

The DS-160 is tricky. I sent money to VN via Western Union and she had to make payment in dong. There's probably a way to do it online, but it seems everyone just sends money and then the VN girlfriend/boyfriend converts it and pays. After that, the rest is pretty easy. Good luck!!!

Yes, online you can decide how the recipient receives the money. You can choose for them to receive in dong or USD.

+1. Plus, from past experience, if you specify that your recipient will receive in VN Dong, Western Union takes a cut (in form of currency conversion rate) in addition to the transfer fees. But if you tell it in USD, you just pay the transfer fees and your recipient will get whatever you send them in USD.
