No visa on arrival — don't risk it
Tunisian citizens cannot get a visa on arrival in Mongolia. Arriving without a visa means you will be refused entry and sent back on the next flight. Get your visa from the embassy before you fly.
Embassy locations
Mongolia has embassies in several countries. Tunisian travelers often use the Mongolian embassy in Paris (France) or London (UK). Check which embassy covers your region and contact them early.
