Guide last updated October 4, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended stay
  • Digital passport-style photo for the online application
  • Scanned passport bio page
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter)
  • Return/onward travel itinerary
  • Proof of sufficient funds if requested
  • Travel health insurance recommended for the stay
  • Biometrics: not required online; standard passport stamping on arrival

Visa types

  • Tourist e-Visa: single entry, valid for use within 90 days of issue, max stay 30 days
  • Business e-Visa: similar process, requires an invitation letter from a Mongolian company or organization
  • Transit Visa: for short stopovers en route to/from Russia or elsewhere, valid up to 48-72 hours

How to apply online

  • Visit Mongolia's official e-Visa portal (evisa.mn)
  • Register an account and complete the application form with passport and trip details
  • Upload the required documents (passport scan, photo, accommodation proof)
  • Pay the e-Visa fee online by credit/debit card
  • Processing time: typically 3-5 working days; approval sent by email as a printable letter
  • Present the approval letter, passport, and return ticket on arrival at a Mongolian port of entry

Fees & processing time

  • e-Visa fee: approximately USD 53 for a single-entry tourist e-Visa (fee varies slightly by entry type)
  • No separate agency fee when applying directly through the official portal
  • Standard processing: 3-5 working days
  • Urgent/express processing: sometimes available for an extra fee, reducing turnaround to 1-2 working days

Tips for China travelers

  • Apply online at least 1-2 weeks ahead of travel to allow for processing and any document follow-up requests
  • Print the e-Visa approval and carry it with the passport, since border posts check the physical/PDF copy
  • Land border crossings between China and Mongolia (e.g., Erenhot/Zamyn-Uud) can be used with the e-Visa; confirm the specific port supports e-Visa entry
  • Pack for extreme temperature swings and carry some cash (Mongolian Tugrik or USD) since card acceptance is limited outside Ulaanbaatar
  • Check evisa.mn for the latest document requirements and processing updates before applying
