Where and how to apply

According to the frequently asked questions page consulted, the visa is obtained from Mongolia's diplomatic missions, consulates and representative offices abroad, or at a designated Mongolian border crossing point. The agency publishes three application forms according to the duration and the purpose of the stay.

The agency also refers to an electronic visa application system, whose address it gives. That system organizes the application in four sections: type of document and nationality, personal information, purpose and duration, then confirmation of the data. Access to the electronic visa depends on nationality: the page refers to its own list, which VisaGuideline does not reproduce; use the nationality selector on this page.

Choose the route: a form filed with a Mongolian mission, or the electronic visa application system where it is open to the category concerned.
Fill in the corresponding form and gather the documents requested.
Pay the fees; for the online application, the page states that the payment is not refundable once the transaction is complete.
Collect the visa within the period of validity of the authorization, that is 60 days according to the page consulted.
Enter Mongolia before the deadline stated on the visa, and keep a copy of the electronic visa on arrival.
