This is considered to be fake so far as there is no authentic announcement.

In contrast, even the Umrah visa fee which has been circulated as removed is false. The government official has clarify that they have not made any such announcements.

The decision and announcement was from the Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Naif. When words from such a high authority comes, it's not even considered to be changed back.
