Application Process: 

To obtain a Mongolian visa, you generally need to submit an application to the nearest Mongolian embassy or consulate in your home country or the country where you currently reside. The application usually requires a completed form, a valid passport, a passport-sized photo, and the visa fee.

Invitation or Tourist Voucher: 

For a tourist visa, you may also need an invitation from a registered Mongolian travel agency or a letter of invitation from a Mongolian citizen. A letter of invitation can be obtained through Selena Travel when booking a tour with us. Then you will apply for Mongolian visa by yourself. 

Visa Extension: If you wish to stay in Mongolia for more than the initial visa duration, you may be able to apply for a visa extension at the Mongolian Immigration Agency in Ulaanbaatar. It is advisable to check the specific requirements and procedures for visa extensions.

Visa on Arrival: Some nationalities may be eligible for a visa on arrival at Chinggis Khaan International Airport in Ulaanbaatar. However, it is recommended to check the latest information and requirements regarding visa on arrival before traveling.

Border Crossings: If you plan to enter Mongolia overland, it is important to check the visa requirements and availability at the specific border crossings you intend to use. Not all border crossings may issue visas on arrival, so it’s crucial to confirm this information in advance.

It is important to note that visa requirements can change, so it is always advisable to consult the nearest Mongolian embassy or consulate or check their official websites for the most up-to-date information and specific instructions related to your nationality and travel plans.
