The details for a Turkish passport.
Turkey is NOT on Egypt's 78-nationality e-Visa list (read 11 Oct 2026), so the e-Visa is not available. Visa on arrival for Turkish citizens was announced in April 2023 by Turkey's chargé d'affaires in Cairo ('Vatandaşlarımız Mısır'a önceden vize almadan girebilecekler'), reported by national media (Türkiye Gazetesi, 15 Apr 2023); Timatic (via Wikipedia) shows a 30-day VOA (not for those born in Egypt). Egypt's own pages do not list it, and the Tourism Authority's '78 nationalities' statement does not include Turkey - confirm with the airline (Timatic) before travel. Reported excluded from the Sinai-only free stamp.
How long it must be valid.
At least 6 months beyond the date of arrival.
