eVisa is mandatory
Mongolian citizens cannot get a visa on arrival in the Bahamas. You must have an approved eVisa before you board your flight. Apply early to avoid last-minute stress.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in the Bahamas, not from your departure date. If it's close to expiring, renew it first.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Bahamas eVisa website. Fill in your personal details, passport info, travel dates, and upload a passport-style photo. Pay the fee with a credit or debit card. Submit and wait for the approval email — typically 2–5 business days.
2
Prepare your documents for arrival
Before you fly, print or save on your phone: the approved eVisa, your passport bio page, return ticket, and first night accommodation confirmation. Keep them together in a folder or clear plastic sleeve.
3
Arrive at the airport in the Bahamas
At Lynden Pindling International Airport (Nassau) or Grand Bahama International Airport (Freeport), follow signs to Immigration. Join the queue for foreign passport holders. Have your passport, eVisa, return ticket, and accommodation proof ready. The officer will check your documents, stamp your passport, and wave you through. The whole process usually takes 5–10 minutes if your paperwork is in order.
