Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Mongolia eVisa at evisa.mn at least 3 business days before departure. The eVisa is valid for up to 30 days and costs around $50 USD depending on nationality. Print the approval letter and carry it with your passport — immigration at Chinggis Khaan Airport will check it before stamping you in.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the duration of your stay in Mongolia. Airlines at Sarajevo and connecting hubs may enforce a 6-month validity rule — check with your carrier before flying. No blank page minimum for the eVisa entry. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration officers at Ulaanbaatar routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready showing you leave Mongolia within the eVisa validity period. Overland exit plans won't cut it — they want a flight booking. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel or host confirmation | Carry a printed or digital hotel booking confirmation for your first few nights in Mongolia. Immigration rarely asks for it, but if you're arriving on a late flight or look underprepared, they may request it. A hostel or guesthouse booking works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or credit card showing access to at least $500 USD for a short stay. Officers don't usually ask for it, but if you're flagged for any reason, they'll want to see you're not planning to work illegally. Cash in USD or MNT also works. | Recommended |
