Immigration Agency of Mongolia

Mongolia's immigration authority, whose registration requirement catches many new arrivals off guard — it applies from 30 days, not the longer thresholds common elsewhere. About the Immigration Agency: The Immigration Agency of Mongolia oversees entry, exit and residence matters for foreigners, and runs the country's e-visa support system. Its most practically important function for many visitors is the mandatory registration for longer stays, a requirement that's easy to miss. Key Features: Mandatory Registration: Anyone staying more than 30 days must register within seven days of arrival — a shorter and stricter window than many countries use. E-Visa Support: Handles inquiries related to Mongolia's electronic visa system. Residence Status: Processes longer-term residence matters beyond simple visa validity. Foreigner Services: A single point of contact for immigration-related questions during your stay. How to Get Started: Note your arrival date and calculate the 30-day threshold immediately. If staying past 30 days, register with the Immigration Agency within 7 days of arrival. Visit immigration.gov.mn/en for the current registration process and required documents. Keep proof of registration with you, as it may be checked before departure. Important Notice: The 30-day/7-day registration rule is strict and commonly missed by travellers used to longer grace periods elsewhere — mark your calendar the day you arrive, not when you think you might need it.
