Book an appointment
Contact the Slovenian embassy in Ulaanbaatar or the visa application center (like VFS Global if they handle it) to schedule an appointment. Slots can fill up weeks ahead, especially in summer — book early.
4
Attend the interview
Show up in person at the appointment time. Bring all original documents plus photocopies. The officer may ask about your travel plans, job, and ties to Mongolia. Answer honestly and clearly.

Wait for processing
Standard processing takes 15 calendar days, but can extend to 30 or even 60 days if additional checks are needed. Track your application online if the center provides a tracking number.
