Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity from your date of entry into Mongolia. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Mongolia | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward ticket. A flight out of Mongolia within 90 days satisfies this — they rarely check beyond the date. Have a printed copy or show it on your phone. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A hotel confirmation or a letter from your host works. I have been asked for this at Ulaanbaatar airport. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during the stay | You need roughly $50 USD per day of your stay. A bank statement or credit card with a decent limit is enough. I have never been asked for this, but it is in the regulations. | Recommended |
