Any foreign visitor wishing 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. Mongolia Embassy and Honored Consul in foreign countries will issue a visa. If there is not any Embassy Consular Office and also Honored Consul in your country (or country, where you are available to apply) you can get a visa at the immigration office of Mongolian border. In this case, you have to inform us at least one week before your arrival. We will fix official documents and also visa request letter to the Border Immigration Office. If Embassy Consuls and Honored Consul request an invitation letter for a visa we will provide with it. Citizens of below mentioned countries visit to Mongolia without a visa:
-United States of America
-Great Britain
-Hong Kong /up to 14 days visit/
-Macao
-Malaysia
-Singapore /up to 14 days visit/
-Philippines /up to 21 days visit/
-Kazakhstan
-Israel
-Cuba
-Azerbaijan
-Turkmenistan
-Ukraine

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. (Mongolian diplomatic and consular missions abroad)
Necessary Documents for Visa
The following materials are required to obtain Mongolian Visa:
1. Valid passport
2. One passport sized photo
3. Application form
4. Sponsor Letter from confident authority, unless otherwise stipulated in bilateral agreements, as follows:
-For official delegation - Either an invitation of the receiving body
(state, government, non-governmental organization, business entity)
or an official request in written by the sending government or local authorities.
-For tourists those staying over 30 days up to 90 days, visa clearance from the Aliens and Naturalization Office of Mongolia .
-For private guest - a personal invitation of a Mongolian national, attested by the Aliens and Naturalization Office of Mongolia,
and visa applicant’s written statement concerning his/her financial credibility to cover his/her stay in Mongolia.
-For transit passengers - onward ticket and visa for next destination country.
-For business delegation - invitation letter of Mongolian business entities or letter of request of sending legal entity
(this point is not applicable for those states national with whom Mongolia has bilateral visa agreements).
5. AIDS test required for students and anyone staying longer than 3 months.
The visa issuing rules have been eased since 1997. Practically a 30-days tourist visa can be obtained from any Mongolian Embassy abroad (see the list) within 24 hours for approximately US$ 40.00. Additional fees are charged for urgent visa.
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: Chinggis Khaan International Airport in Ulaanbaatar, Dzamyn-Uud Railway Station on 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 beware 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 Russia. 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.
NOTE: USA citizens can travel now to Mongolia without visa and Visa Fees, as a respective agreement was signed in 2001.

Thanks for your help
Yes, you can have visa at the airport. Chinese and Koreans can’t. But you might need to demonstrate that you have clear purpose of visit and proof of it and that will be fine.
If needs help let us know.
Hi, can I enter Mongolia with Chinese Visa. Or if it is not possible, can I get the visa in Beijing airport. I am from Switzerland but now stay in Indonesia for holiday.

Outer Mongolia is an independent country for which you need a visa to enter. You can get one at the Mongolian Embassy in Beijing. (On the other hand, so-called Inner Mongolia is inside the PRC.)

Hello,
I am coming to Mongolia for a 10 vacation in 2 weeks time. I am unable to get a Visa processed by an Embassy due to where I live. Most websites say I can apply for a Visa upon urgent request at Ulaanbatar airport. If I have all the necessary documentation for the Visa, will there be any problems with getting a Visa done upon arrival?
This page says:
“you can get a visa at the immigration office of Mongolian border. In this case, you have to inform us at least one week before your arrival. We will fix official documents and also visa request letter to the Border Immigration Office.”
Does this mean to inform you (welcome2mongolia) or the Mongolia Border Immigration Office?
cheers for any help!
