Exact is independent. We are not a government body and we do not carry out any procedure on your behalf.

What this is

This accreditation allows non-resident media professionals to legally cover events and produce reports within the country for a limited period. To obtain it, applicants must submit a complete application to the Ministry of Communication. The application typically includes a letter of assignment or mission signed by the media outlet, valid press cards, and identification documents for all members of the reporting team.

At the counter

What readers say they paid

The law sets a fee. At the counter it is not always the one you pay. Here is what readers report, counted and summarised.

Nobody has reported an amount for this procedure yet.

If you have done it, say what you paid. We publish the figures together, never your account on its own.

Report what I paid

No name, no number, no link. We refuse those.

We publish how many reports there are, the range and the median. Never your report on its own, never an official's name, never a named office.
