In reference to recent news circulated by some newspapers and websites in the past hours, claiming that Egypt has raised the entry visa fees to the country from $25 to $45, as part of legislative amendments to Law No. 175 of 2025 regarding the imposition of a fee for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs buildings, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities confirms that these reports are completely unfounded, and that no executive decisions have been taken regarding an increase in entry visa fees to Egypt.
The only decision currently taken is the determination of the maximum limit for the visa fees, not the implementation of an increase.
⚠️ The Ministry stresses that what is being circulated are merely rumors, confirming that any information related to entry visas or otherwise will be announced, as is customary, through official statements issued by the relevant executive authorities in the state.
⚠️ The Ministry calls upon all media outlets and social media users to exercise accuracy and to communicate with official authorities before publishing any information in this regard.
