Entry/Exit Requirements
"A valid passport is required for American visitors. No visa
is required for Americans visiting for fewer than 90 days; however,
visitors planning to stay in Mongolia for more than 30 days are
required to register with the Immigration, Naturalization and Foreign
Citizens Agency in Ulaanbaatar within the first seven days of arrival.
American visitors who fail to register and who stay longer than
30 days, even for reasons beyond their control, will be stopped
at departure, denied exit, and fined. It is recommended that if
there is any possibility that a visitor will be in Mongolia beyond
30 days that they register with the Immigration, Naturalization
and Foreign Citizens Agency within the first seven days of their
arrival.
Americans planning to work or study in Mongolia should apply for
a visa at a Mongolian Embassy or Consulate overseas. Failure to
do so may result in authorities denying registration, levying a
fine, and requiring that the visitor leave the country. Travelers
arriving or departing Mongolia through China or Russia should be
aware of Chinese and Russian visa regulations (transiting twice
will require a double- or multiple-entry visa) and note that some
land entry points have varying days and hours. American citizens
are not permitted to transit through China or Russia without a visa.
For more information on these requirements see the Country Specific
Information for these countries at http://travel.state.gov.
Travelers planning travel to Russia should get visas prior to arriving
in Mongolia, as they are difficult to get at the Russian Embassy
in Mongolia.
Individuals without Mongolian visas are subject to an exit tax
payable either in USD or Mongolian Tugrugs upon departure. This
amount may or may not be included with the price of the airline
ticket; travelers are advised to confirm when they purchase their
airline ticket.
In an effort to prevent international child abduction, many governments
have initiated procedures at entry/exit points. These often include
requiring documentary evidence of relationship and permission for
the child’s travel from the parent(s) or legal guardian if
not present. Having such documentation on hand, even if not required,
may facilitate entry/departure.
Visit the Embassy of Mongolia web site at http://www.mongolianembassy.us
for the most current visa information. Travelers can also contact
the Embassy of Mongolia at 2833 M Street NW, Washington, DC 20007,
telephone (202) 333-7117 for the most current visa information."
