Visas
Obtaining a standard one-month single entry tourist visa to Mongolia is straightforward. We can help with any questions you might have, but most things you need to know can be found on your country’s Mongolian Embassy website. For example:
UK: Mongolia's embassy in London
You must apply in person, or have an immediate family member do it for you. Alternatively you can use either of the embassy's two approved visa agencies:
- Real Russia: www.realrussia.co.uk/visas/mongolian/
- OBT: www.obtuk.com/our_services/visas.php
Both agencies charge around 55GBP on top of the 40GBP visa fee.
New Zealand: Honarary Consul in Lower Hutt
- Postal applications are accepted. Visa fee is $95NZD.
Points to note:
- Duration - One month is standard, and an extension for an extra month can be obtained once you are in Mongolia. Anything more than that may or may not be possible (if you really want to stay longer than two months, let us know).
- Validity - enter Mongolia within 90 days of obtaining the visa.
- Supporting documentation - sometimes you may be asked to provide documents such as travel itinerary, hotel reservation, or contact details for a host organisation in Mongolia. We can help with that.
If you are coming through Russia or China, visa information can be found at
Russia's embassy in the UK
China's embassy in the UK
(If you are transiting through Moscow or Bejing, you may still need a visa).
I don’t think any more adjectives can describe the country, the people, the scenery and the culture better than some of the past clients of Zavkhan Trekking. The total vacation was great from start to finish.
