Jordanian passport holders need a visa to enter Mongolia. You must arrange this in advance through a Mongolian embassy or consulate, as there is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa option for Jordanian citizens.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Mongolia visaYou cannot get a visa on arrival or use an eVisa; you must get it stamped in your passport before you fly. Apply at an embassy/consulate | Jordanian passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to Mongolia. There is no eVisa option for Jordanian citizens. Apply at the nearest Mongolian embassy or consulate well in advance of your departure. | Required |
| Passport validityIf your passport expires sooner, renew it before applying for the visa or booking travel. At least 6 months beyond arrival | Your Jordanian passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Mongolia. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesThe blank page must be an actual visa page, not the endorsement or amendment page. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank visa/stamp page for the Mongolian entry stamp. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketHave a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight itinerary ready. Proof of departure | Immigration may ask to see a confirmed return or onward flight ticket showing you will leave Mongolia before your visa expires. | Required |
| Proof of fundsNot always checked, but having proof avoids problems at border control. Sufficient for your stay | Be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds (e.g., bank statements, cash, credit cards) to cover your expenses during your time in Mongolia. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou do not need to fill out any separate arrival form beyond the standard immigration card. Not required | Mongolia does not require an arrival declaration form for Jordanian passport holders. | Not required |
| Visa application documentsRequirements vary by embassy, so call or email ahead to avoid missing a document. Check with embassy | The Mongolian embassy will require your passport, completed application form, photo, itinerary, and possibly an invitation letter. Confirm exact documents with the specific embassy where you apply. | Required |
No visa on arrival or eVisa — plan ahead
Jordanian citizens cannot get a Mongolian visa on arrival or through the eVisa system. You must secure a visa from a Mongolian embassy or consulate before flying. Arriving without a visa will result in denial of entry and immediate return to your point of origin.
Apply at the right embassy
Since there's no Mongolian embassy in Jordan, you'll likely need to use the embassy in Cairo or Ankara. Contact them well in advance to confirm their exact requirements, fees, and whether you can apply by mail or must appear in person.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Mongolian embassy or consulate
Find the Mongolian embassy or consulate that covers your jurisdiction. For Jordanians, this is often the embassy in Cairo, Egypt, or the embassy in Ankara, Turkey. Call or email to confirm their visa application procedures, required documents, and appointment availability.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, application form, travel itinerary, hotel bookings, and bank statements. Make copies of everything for your records.
3
Submit your application in person or by mail
Depending on the embassy, you may need to appear in person for biometrics or you can send your documents by courier. If applying by mail, use a trackable service and include a prepaid return envelope.
4
Pay the visa fee
Pay the fee as instructed by the embassy — usually by bank transfer, money order, or in cash if applying in person. Keep the receipt as proof of payment.
5
Wait for processing
Processing typically takes 5–10 business days, but can take longer during peak seasons. Check with the embassy for current timelines. Do not book non-refundable flights until you have the visa in hand.
6
Collect your passport with the visa
Once approved, you'll receive your passport with the visa sticker. Check that all details (name, passport number, dates) are correct before leaving the embassy or receiving your mail.
7
Arrive in Mongolia and go through immigration
At Ulaanbaatar's Chinggis Khaan International Airport (UBN), proceed to the 'Foreigners' queue. Present your passport with the visa, and be ready to show your return ticket and proof of accommodation if asked. The officer will stamp your passport with your entry date and allowed stay duration.
