Consular services for Egyptian citizens
Egypt has no consulate general in Ho Chi Minh City, so Egyptians anywhere in Vietnam, and in Laos, deal with the embassy in Hanoi. We could not find a published service list. Embassies typically provide these services for their citizens:
- Passport procedures or guidance, and emergency travel documents after a loss.
- Certification of documents and proof of marital status for marriage.
- Recording civil status events of citizens abroad.
- Assistance for citizens who are in trouble, detained or ill.
Ask the embassy directly which services are available in Hanoi and which must be done in Egypt.
What to know before you go
- Contact the embassy first to ask about public hours and whether you need an appointment.
- Bring your passport (or a copy if it was lost), proof of nationality, photos and any supporting documents.
- The embassy closes on Vietnamese and Egyptian holidays, including Islamic holidays that follow the lunar calendar.
- House numbers on To Ngoc Van are not continuous, and the map pin may lead you near another embassy. Keep walking until you find number 63, on the left-hand side as the numbers go down.
- Both Vietnamese and Egyptian staff deal with visitors, so you can ask in Vietnamese or English.
- If you apply for an Egyptian visa here, apply well ahead. Processing can take several weeks, and progress is hard to find out by phone. Avoid non-refundable flights and hotels until you have the result.
Common situations that bring foreigners to the embassy
Passport lost in Vietnam: get a police report where it happened, then contact the embassy for a travel document or new passport. Your Vietnamese visa was in the old passport, so you need a new visa or exit procedures before going to the airport.
Passport expiring: after renewal, transfer your visa or temporary residence card to the new passport. You may need a visa extension while you wait.
Marriage and births: Egyptians marrying Vietnamese citizens need Egyptian proof of marital status and a birth certificate, legalised and translated into Vietnamese with notarisation.
Work permits and study: Egyptian degrees and criminal records need consular legalisation and a notarised translation.
Powers of attorney: documents for use in Egypt usually need the signature authenticated by a competent authority.
Help with an Egyptian passport in Vietnam
We could not verify whether the Egyptian Embassy in Hanoi issues or renews passports itself. Contact the embassy for the procedure. If it cannot be done locally, the usual route is to apply through the competent authority in Egypt, or another mission as instructed. In an emergency, you can get a travel document to return home.
Info Travel helps within what is permitted. We translate and prepare documents and guide your contact with the embassy. We then transfer your visa or TRC to the new passport, arrange an exit visa or extend your stay while you wait. You still deal with the embassy yourself when attendance is required.
Consular legalisation, certification and certified translation
Egypt does not appear among the parties to the Apostille Convention, so full consular legalisation still applies between Vietnam and Egypt unless a treaty grants an exemption. Background: apostille vs consular legalisation.
Egyptian documents for use in Vietnam: the document is certified by Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and legalised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Cairo. Alternatively, if the Egyptian Embassy in Hanoi certifies it, it is then legalised by the Consular Department in Hanoi or the HCMC Department of Foreign Affairs. Then it is translated into Vietnamese and notarised.
Vietnamese documents for use in Egypt: get consular certification at the Consular Department or the HCMC Department of Foreign Affairs. Then have it legalised at the Egyptian Embassy if the embassy accepts this, with an Arabic or English translation as required.
Info Travel handles the whole chain: notarised translation, the foreign affairs stamp, and consular legalisation submission and collection at the embassy. Ask for a quote on WhatsApp.
