The fee varies by nationality and processing speed. For Libyan passports, expect around $50–80 USD. Check evisa.mn for the exact amount when you apply.
No. The e-visa is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must leave and re-apply from outside Mongolia.

It's not a formal requirement, but immigration may ask how you'll support yourself. Having a credit card or a few hundred dollars in cash is sensible.
