In reference to reports circulated by some newspapers and websites over the past few hours claiming that Egypt has raised entry visa fees from $25 to $45, as part of legislative amendments to Law No. 175 of 2025 on imposing a fee for Ministry of Foreign Affairs buildings, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities affirms that these reports are completely untrue, and that no executive decisions have been taken regarding an increase in entry visa fees for Egypt. The decisions taken at present only set the maximum limit for visa fees and do not apply an increase.
The ministry stressed that what is being circulated is merely rumors, affirming that any information related to entry visas or other matters is announced, as usual, through official statements issued by the relevant executive authorities of the state.
The ministry urges all media outlets and social media users to verify accuracy and contact official authorities before publishing any information on this matter.
