Aevamo’s reading
Law 89/1960 on the Entry and Residence of Foreigners, as amended by Law 88/2005, Article 2 creates the obligation: no one may enter Egypt without a passport endorsed (visa'd) by the Ministry of Interior or an Egyptian mission, and Article 5 delegates to the Minister of Interior the power to exempt named nationalities. It is the instrument that creates the obligation; the ministry and consular pages administer and describe it.
The Ministry of Interior's e-visa portal FAQ states the general rule that a foreigner must obtain an e-visa to enter and enumerates the nationalities that may be issued one; each issuer in this row (Bosnia and Herzegovina, India, Iraq, Moldova, Kosovo, Vietnam) appears in that list, so they arrange the e-visa before travel.

How the documents behind this regime are dated
The e-visa portal FAQ is the live Ministry of Interior page (footer '2026 - Ministry of Interior - Arab Republic of Egypt'). The London consulate page states 'Updated 4 August 2024'. The Washington embassy page carries no update date. Law 89/1960 is the consolidated text as amended by Law 88/2005.
What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
