Mongolian Visa

Are you planning a trip to Mongolia and wondering whether you need a visa? Good news — Mongolia has made visiting easier than ever. Under the government’s “Years to Visit Mongolia” initiative (2023–2028), citizens of 61 countries can travel visa-free for up to 30 days.

If your country is not on the visa-free list, you can still visit Mongolia easily by applying for an e-visa, embassy visa, or even a visa on arrival (if eligible).

3.   Request a Visa on Arrival if no embassy is available nearby.

Visa on Arrival in Mongolia

If your country has no Mongolian embassy or consulate, you may apply for a visa on arrival at Chinggis Khaan International Airport in Ulaanbaatar.

Requirements for Visa on Arrival:

• Official invitation letter from the Mongolian Immigration Agency (arranged by your tour operator, approved at least 14 days in advance)

• Invitation letter fee (paid to your tour operator)

• Valid passport (with at least 6 months’ validity)

• Return flight or train tickets

• Tour itinerary

• Two passport-sized photos

💡 Tip: If you plan to enter and exit Mongolia more than once (for example, traveling to China and returning), you must request a multiple-entry visa before your trip.
