No eVisa or visa on arrival for Bangladeshi citizens
Mongolia does not offer an eVisa or visa-on-arrival for Bangladeshi passport holders. You must apply through a Mongolian embassy or consulate before you travel. Don't fall for online services claiming otherwise.
Apply well in advance
Embassy processing can take longer than expected, especially during peak travel seasons. Start your application at least 4-6 weeks before your planned departure to avoid last-minute stress.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Mongolian embassy or consulate
Find the Mongolian embassy or consulate responsible for Bangladesh. In many cases, this is the Mongolian Embassy in New Delhi, India, or another regional office. Call or email them to confirm their jurisdiction, application hours, and specific requirements for Bangladeshi citizens.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, application form, flight itinerary, accommodation proof, bank statements, and visa fee. Make photocopies of everything. Double-check that your passport has at least 6 months validity and 1 blank page.
3
Submit your application in person or by mail
Depending on the embassy, you may need to appear in person for biometrics or an interview. If mail-in is allowed, use a secure courier. Submit your complete package and pay the fee. Get a receipt or tracking number.
4
Wait for processing
Processing times vary — typically 5-10 working days, but can take longer. Check with the embassy for current timelines. Don't book non-refundable flights until you have the visa in hand.
5
Collect your passport with the visa
Once approved, you'll get your passport back with the visa sticker. Verify the dates, name spelling, and validity period. If anything is wrong, contact the embassy immediately.
6
Arrive in Mongolia and go through immigration
At Ulaanbaatar's Chinggis Khaan International Airport (or other entry points), present your passport with the visa to immigration officers. They may ask about your stay — answer honestly. Have your accommodation and return ticket details handy if asked.

Frequently asked questions
No. Bangladeshi passport holders are not eligible for a visa on arrival. You must obtain a visa from a Mongolian embassy or consulate before you travel.
Processing typically takes 5-10 working days, but it can take longer depending on the embassy and time of year. Apply at least 3-4 weeks before your planned departure to be safe.
Visa fees vary by embassy and visa type (tourist, business, etc.). Contact the Mongolian embassy or consulate you're applying through for the exact fee. Expect to pay in the local currency or USD, and note that the fee is non-refundable.
There is no Mongolian embassy in Bangladesh. The Mongolian Embassy in New Delhi, India, often handles visa applications for Bangladeshi citizens, but you should confirm with them or check if another Mongolian consulate covers your region. You may need to apply by mail or in person.
No, the visa for Bangladeshi citizens is not extendable. You must leave Mongolia before your visa expires. Overstaying can result in fines and future entry bans.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay. If it expires earlier, you won't be allowed to enter Mongolia. Ensure your passport's validity covers the entire trip plus the 6-month buffer.
Immigration officers may ask to see proof of sufficient funds. It's wise to carry bank statements or a credit card with a decent limit, even if you've already shown documents for the visa application.
