For Mongolia, most travelers need a visa unless they come from one of the visa-free countries. To apply for a visa, visit the Mongolian embassy or consulate in your country or apply online if available. A visa on arrival is only possible for some nationalities. Make sure you have all the necessary documents ready to expedite the process.
The Chinggis Khaan International Airport (ULN) in Ulaanbaatar is the main airport of Mongolia. Most international flights land here. Look for connections and airlines that offer direct flights from Europe and Asia. From here, you can easily travel to the capital and further into the country to start your off-road adventures.
The local currency is the Tögrög (MNT). Credit cards are accepted in large cities, but it is advisable to always have cash on hand, especially in rural areas. ATMs are widespread in Ulaanbaatar but not in remote areas. So, take enough cash with you to secure yourself throughout your stay.
Before traveling to Mongolia, you should check recommended vaccinations, including hepatitis A and tetanus. Comprehensive travel insurance is also important, especially for off-road travel. It should cover health care and repatriation. Also, check if activities such as motorcycling or hiking are included in the insurance coverage.
To drive in Mongolia, you need a valid driver's license and an international driving permit (IDP). You should apply for these before your trip. Road conditions can be challenging, so ensure you are familiar with off-road vehicles. Also, pay attention to traffic signs and adhere to local traffic regulations as they may differ from European ones.
