Apply for your Mongolia eVisa online

The Mongolia eVisa system issues three specific categories: K2 for Tourism, K4 for Sports or Cultural Events, and K6 for Transit. You must ensure you select the correct category; for instance, if you're attending a Naadam festival event as a participant, you may need a K4 visa instead of a standard K2 tourist visa.

Once issued, a single-entry Mongolia eVisa is typically valid for 150 days. This means you must enter the country within five months of the approval date. Once you cross the border, you are usually permitted a stay of up to 30 days.

No. The eVisa is specifically accepted at major international ports of entry, including Chinggis Khaan International Airport (Ulaanbaatar) and key land borders like Altanbulag (Russia border) and Zamiin-Uud (China border). If you plan to use a remote or minor border crossing, you must obtain a traditional visa from an embassy.

Selfies or photos with glasses are frequently rejected. Our expert review ensures that your photo meets these precise pixel and background requirements to prevent denial.

If you're staying in the airport’s international transit area for less than 24 hours without clearing immigration, you don't need a visa. However, if you plan to leave the airport or transit through Mongolia by land (such as via the Trans-Mongolian Railway), you must obtain a K6 Transit eVisa, which is valid for a stay of up to 10 days.

Yes. Every traveler, including infants and minors, must have their own individual passport and eVisa. For minors, you must provide a birth certificate and, if the child is traveling with only one parent or a third party, a notarized consent letter from the non-traveling parent(s) is required to be presented at the border.

Once your Mongolia eVisa application is approved, you’ll receive an email with a PDF. We recommend printing a physical copy to present to your airline and border officials at the port of entry. You should also keep a digital backup on your phone.

If denied, you will receive a notification via email. The most common reasons for denial are incorrect passport details or a non-compliant photo. You can usually re-apply by submitting a completely new application with corrected information. iVisa offers denial protection.
