Egypt's row on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs exemption list (published June 30, 2025, checked October 2026) is marked under Diplomatic and under Official/Service/Special, with a 90-day stay. The Ordinary column is empty, and Egypt is absent from the later 45-day lists.

Vietnam visa for Egyptian citizens: urgent cut-offs in Cairo time
Standard takes 5 to 7 working days. The urgent speeds use Vietnamese working days, which start at 8:00 in Vietnam: 4:00 in Cairo during summer time and 3:00 in winter. Egypt observes summer time from the last Friday in April to the last Thursday in October, which this year is October 29.
| Order cut-off | Cairo, winter | Cairo, summer time |
|---|---|---|
| Same day (Vietnam 14:15) | 9:15 | 10:15 |
| Super Urgent (Vietnam 15:30) | 10:30 | 11:30 |
| Emergency (Vietnam 17:30) | 12:30 | 13:30 |
| 1 working day (Vietnam 18:00) | 13:00 | 14:00 |
Example in summer time: you order on Tuesday at 5:00 in Cairo, which is 9:00 on Tuesday in Vietnam. Emergency arrives by 6:30, Super Urgent by 7:30 and Same day by 14:00, all in Cairo time. Ordered on Tuesday at 12:00 instead (16:00 in Vietnam), Emergency still arrives by 13:30, but Super Urgent and Same day have passed their cut-offs: Super Urgent arrives on Wednesday at 7:00 and Same day on Wednesday at 10:00.
The weekend window starts at Friday 14:00 in Cairo in summer time (13:00 in winter) and ends on Sunday at 12:00 (11:00). In that window, order the Weekend and public holidays speed before 11:20 in summer time and it arrives by 14:30 the same day. Our urgent e-visa page has every speed in Vietnam time.

Visa on arrival for Egyptian citizens
Egyptian citizens can use visa on arrival only when flying into Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang or Cam Ranh. You need an approval letter before you board and pay a $25 or $50 stamping fee at the airport.
It does not work for cruise ports or land borders. For most trips the e-visa is simpler; you can compare both when you choose a service.
Vietnam embassy in Egypt
Vietnam has an embassy in Egypt, but you do not need it for an e-visa, which is issued online. The Embassy of Vietnam in Cairo is at 47 Ahmed Heshmat Street, Zamalek, Cairo. Our page on the Vietnam embassy in Egypt has the details.
Tips for Egyptian travelers
Two points help Egyptian travelers: reading the exemption list correctly, and counting Egypt's summer time.
Diplomatic and official passports are different
The 90-day stay on Egypt's row of the exemption list belongs to diplomatic and official or service passports only. A holder of an ordinary Egyptian passport needs the e-visa, even if a colleague with an official passport enters without one.
Egypt's clocks change, Vietnam's do not
Egypt moves its clocks back at the end of October, so every Vietnamese cut-off shifts one hour later on your clock. The table above shows both columns; use the summer time column until October 29 and the winter column after that.
eVisaVietnam.com is a private visa service operated by TK VIET NAM., JSC, not the Vietnamese government. You can apply yourself at evisa.gov.vn for US$25. If you want your files checked and a delivery time backed by a full refund, apply for your e-visa with us.
