Entry requirements in Mongolia
There are four border crossings open to foreigners, three by the Russian border and one near the small town of Erlian on the border with China.
Foreign nationals of the following countries/territories can enter Mongolia visa-free:
For up to 90 days: Kazakhstan, Laos and Macau SAR
For up to 3 months: United States
For up to 1 month: Cuba, Israel, Malaysia and Thailand, plus holders of diplomatic passports of North Korea or South Korea
For up to 21 days: Philippines
For up to 14 days: Hong Kong SAR, Singapore
For other foreign nationals, the process for obtaining a thirty day visa is relatively painless, requiring a simple form and a small fee at your local Mongolian embassy. Longer visas are available, but require an invitation letter from a Mongolian company. These can sometimes be arranged through tour companies. Also, it is possible to acquire an expedited visa in a matter of hours at the Mongolian consulate in Erlian, though there is a steep $50 US fee for this service. A similar service is available in the Mongolian consulate in the Russian city of Irkutsk. Indian nationals are required to apply for a visa, although the visa fee is waived.
For more than 30 days tourist visa you will need invitation letter
The Embassy of Mongolia website is useful for updates.
The Embassy of Mongolia's China website you will need if you are applying for your Mongolian visa in China. You can print off the application form from this website, although the consulate does have them. If you going to stay more than 30 days you have to get registered at the Mongolia Immigration.
