The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has issued an official statement yesterday firmly rejecting claims circulating in various “media” outlets and websites that the entry visa fee had been increased from $25 to $45.

The government also reiterated that announcements regarding visas or entry requirements are made exclusively through official sources. The ministry called on both media representatives and internet users to carefully verify information before publishing it.
