Those who want to enter Mongolia must have a valid passport and visa.
Mongolian visas are issued by Mongolian Diplomatic Missions abroad or upon arrival at a special request. For all information related to consular matters/visas, citizenship etc./, please contact in person by telephone or E-mail the nearest diplomatic or consular mission of Mongolia or you can contact us via info@mongoliajourney.com. The visa issuing rules have been eased since 1997. Practically a 30-days tourist visa can be obtained from any Mongolian Embassy abroad within 24 hours.
Alternatively, those who travel from countries with no Mongolian mission present can get visa either from the Mongolian Embassy in Beijing or Moscow, or at the arrival points. Chingis Khaan Iternational Airport in Ulaanbaatar. Zamyn Uud Railway station on the southern border or Sukhbaatar Railway station on the northern border.
Visitors staying longer than 30 days are required to apply for registration with the Office of Immigration, Naturalization and Foreign Citizens. Visitors planning to stay for more than 180 days should obtain a long-term residence permission. Please, be aware that procrastination with visa extension may result in several visits to the Ministry of External Relations and up to $ 5.00 fine for each day after visa has expired. Visitors are also advised to obtain proper transit visa from China or Russian. There were cases when foreigners who failed to secure two-time transit visa were denied entrance to these countries on their way back home from Mongolia.
