The details for a Vietnamese passport.
Correction (11 Oct 2026): Vietnam IS on Egypt's official 78-nationality e-Visa list (last row: 'Venezuela | Vietnam'); the earlier record said it was not and showed visa required. The Egyptian Tourism Authority says the 78 listed nationalities 'qualify for a visa upon arrival or an electronic visa', so VOA may also be possible, but the e-Visa is the confirmed route. Reported excluded from the Sinai-only free stamp (Timatic, via Wikipedia).
How long it must be valid.
At least 6 months beyond the date of arrival.
