How can Egyptian citizens get 6 months or 1 year visa on arrival to Vietnam?
Years ago, Egyptian nationals are almost impossible for the first time they apply for long term visa like 6 months or 1 year visa to stay in Vietnam. The only kind of visa which they can obtain easily is 3 months. Anyone wanting to stay longer than 3 months needs to get their visa extended and are often required with a lot of complex procedure, such as: investment certificate, invitation letter from sponsorship company in Vietnam to prove their appropriate reason of stay and so on.
This is a happy news that the Immigration policy has loosened a bit for entry Vietnam visa during the past 2 years. There were times when Egyptian nationals could submit their visa application to achieve 6 months multiple entries visa or 1 year multiple entries visa. But the issuance for such long term visa must be done via Vietnam Embassy or through a commercial company; therefore, the cost to get 6 months or 1 year visa approval letter were usually expensive but the continuity for having such Vietnam visas was unstable.
How is it different from applying for 6 months or 1 year visa on arrival to Vietnam?

Accordingly, the chance to approach long terms visa like 6 months or 1 year visa is not only open to American passport holders but also other nationals.
