Principles
From old passion, because I myself so arrived in Mongolia, the service for the motorist. In the past, the border crossing was not possible at all borders and was an absolute adventure. Today, many more borders have been opened for international road traffic, the adventure at the check-in has remained and is not to everyone’s taste. That is why we offer to do the necessary bureaucracy in advance. Also the traveler, who is on the way with his vehicle, taps very gladly and fast into the "permission trap", because he would like to penetrate with his vehicle into the most unreal regions, here above all in the Altai mountains, or in the remote areas of the desert Gobi. In many of these regions you need a permit to drive, because these areas are often very close to the border. The application is not only time-consuming, but also annoying, because the employees at the authorities usually only speak fluent Mongolian and these authorities are only located in Ulaanbaatar. This also applies to the permits for driving in the many nature reserves in Mongolia.
Our service
Unfortunately, the visa situation in Mongolia is not uniform. There are basically three types of visas that are interesting for the tourist.
-
Tourist visa up to 30 days stay in the country
-
Tourist visa > 30 to max 90 days stay in the country
-
Visa for the border area
In addition, there are business study visas and visas for religious reasons, but they are not relevant here. Exact information can be found here: Mongolian Immigration http://en.immigration.gov.mn/

All EU citizens except German citizens need a visa for Mongolia. A list of visa-free countries can be found here: http://consul.mn/eng/index.php?moduls=23 . Tourist visa for up to 30 days can be applied for as e-.visa from July 1, 2021. It is currently unclear (May 1, 2021) whether the tourist visa will also be issued at the road borders. If you are entering Mongolia from a visa-required country, you can apply for the visa electronically (e-visa) from July 1, 2021 https://evisa.mn/main . The website is currently (1 May 2021) still being tested and “bumps” at the moment very strongly. If you want to continue the traditional way and apply for your visa at the consular section of one of the Mongolian embassies, then please note that from July 1, 2021 you can no longer do this directly at the embassy, but you must contact a visa agency registered in the country. For the exact information about this visa agency, please refer to the website of the respective embassy. List of Mongolian representations: http://consul.mn/eng/index.php?moduls=2. This case applies to German citizens only for the tourist visa > 30 days and for the business-work visa too.

For the tourist working business visa with more than 30 days stay in the country, the visa must be applied for in advance. In addition to your passport, you will need an official invitation from Mongolia. You can apply for the official invitation through a travel agency, or your business partner or employer can organize this invitation. What is new is that this invitation can be applied for electronically from 1.7.2021. Previously, all persons who were in the country for more than 30 days had to register with Mongolian immigration within the first seven days. This has been changed so that it must now be done electronically within the first two days. The presentation at the Mongolian immigration is no longer necessary.
Ad 3.
There is a possibility from July 1, 2021 that any person can enter the border regions of Mongolia without a visa. More detailed information is not yet available here. For me, this regulation also makes no sense, because Mongolia has only two neighboring countries and both nations can enter the country visa-free anyway. So let’s wait and see what the Mongolian legislator has in mind.
Extension of the tourist visa up to 30 days in the country is no longer possible in the country (except in justified emergencies). If you want to stay longer than 30 days in the country, you must apply for a visa in advance.
Please refer to the website of your Mongolian representation for the respective fees

You can only apply for a visa for Mongolia with an official letter of invitation at one of the Mongolian embassies on this earth. Under certain conditions Steppenfuchs Reisen can create this invitation letter for you. Please fill in the required information in the application form below. For the creation of the invitation we need about 3 – 4 weeks, because it has to be confirmed by several authorities in Mongolia. You will not receive a physical letter from us, but only a reference number, as everything is done digitally. Please provide this reference number when applying for a visa. Please also read carefully our "Declaration of Commitment" and send it back to us signed. This declaration is the basis for us, so that we are relieved in case of possible problems on the way, since if we create the invitation letter for you, we are also liable to the Mongolian state for their actions in the country. Cost per person for the preparation of the invitation:
-
up to 30 days in the country 45 € / pers ( for all visa required nations)
-
up to 60 days in the country 60 € / pers
-
up to 90 days in the country 90 € / pers
Application for a letter of invitation (Please fill out one application per person)
Entering the country with a vehicle is not as complicated as it was years ago, but still there are some hurdles to overcome and is a little adventure every time. The procedure for entering the country is actually clear, but many detailed questions still depend on the condition of the day of the respective official. The entry with a clearly recognizable motorhome and motorcycle is not as complicated as if you want to enter Mongolia with a car similar vehicle. At this point I can only point out the official way. That there are always individual solutions on site should be clear.
Basically, the “Carnet de Passage” is not recognized by Mongolia at the border, because Mongolia is not a member of this international customs union. The “Carnet ATA” that you can get at home from your Chamber of Commerce and Industry is recognized. In principle, every vehicle that enters Mongolia must be customs cleared upon entry, or it will be customs cleared temporarily. The customs value is calculated from the vehicle value, travel costs, additional customs duty (only for passenger cars) and Mongolian VAT. You can find a sample calculation below. Thanks to the Internet, the customs officers at the border are very well informed about the vehicle values of individual vehicles. If the customs value seems to be too high for you, object and justify why the vehicle is not worth the value. Customs duty must be paid into a bank in local currency. No cash deposits will be made directly to customs. Upon departure, the customs deposit is then returned to a bank account in Mongolia. The customs deposit will not be paid in cash upon departure!!! Have enough copies of your vehicle documents, passport with you. Also a color printout (front, side, rear) of your vehicle is helpful. Often the correct clearance fails because of such small things.
When everything is done, make sure that you get all customs documents. These are besides your vehicle documents and passport
– customs declaration
– Border document (Din A5 two columns 1. entry and in the 2. column the exit is confirmed)
All figures are approximate values for orientation. Ultimately, the sums can all still change in the customs clearance process. Please note that all payments must be made in local currency. A possible refund of a customs deposit will also only be made in local currency and to a bank account within Mongolia.

Mongolia is not only rich in history and culture, but also rich in many permits that the foreigner does not immediately think of. For the tourist, the permit with which one is allowed to approach the state border is probably of importance. Many roads, especially in the Altai Mountains, lead very close to the state borders and to drive on them you need a permit, which you can get only in Ulaanbaatar. If you are in Ulaanbaatar, you can’t get the permit, or you can only get it by paying an unofficial administrative fee, which the tourist interprets as a "rip-off". Steppenfuchs Reisen can solve this problem for you in advance by getting you the permit if it is necessary due to your routing. Please send us an [ email ] with your request.
In recent years, a large number of “Protected Areas” have been established in Mongolia to protect nature. The many already existing national parks in Mongolia also belong to these “protected areas”. The individual areas have different protection status. From “strictly forbidden area” to areas that may be used within certain limits. Depending on the protection class, the visitor has to follow certain rules. For some national parks, permits must be obtained in advance if you wish to stay in these parks. The following areas are mainly relevant for tourism:
