Will a 2-hour layover at Ho Chi Minh City be enough?

I booked both flights through a travel agency, and they're both with Vietnam Airlines.
My itinerary is:
International flight: Arrives at SGN (Tan Son Nhat Airport) at 6:00 AM
Layover: 2 hours
Domestic flight: Departs from SGN at 8:00 AM
A few people have told me this connection could be risky, mainly because of immigration and transferring to the domestic terminal.
I contacted Booking.com, but they basically just said, "You'll be fine," without giving me much explanation.
Has anyone done a similar connection at SGN? Is two hours usually enough, or should I be worried about missing my flight?
I know there's a fast-track immigration service available, but it's a bit outside my budget. I'd really appreciate hearing about other people's experiences or any tips to make the transfer as smooth as possible.
