Mongolia Travel and Vacation – Good to know
Travelers from many countries do not need a visa for stays of up to 30 days in Mongolia. For longer stays or specific nationalities, a visa may be required. It is important to check the requirements before departure. A visa can be applied for at embassies or online, but not upon arrival. Make sure that your passport is valid for at least 6 months.
The international airport Ulaanbaatar (Chinggis Khaan International Airport) is the most important airport in Mongolia. It connects the country with many international destinations. Access to the city is provided via taxi and shuttle services. From here, you can easily plan further travel within the country. Please note that flights to remote areas are often limited.
The local currency is the Tögrög (MNT). Credit cards are only accepted in larger cities and hotels, so it is advisable to carry cash. ATMs are available in Ulaanbaatar, but rare in rural areas. It makes sense to exchange cash locally. Visit exchange offices to get better rates than at airports.
There are no mandatory vaccinations for entry into Mongolia, but it is recommended to refresh standard vaccinations such as tetanus and hepatitis A. A travel insurance is also highly advisable to protect yourself against unforeseen events. Check whether the insurance coverage also applies to expeditions and nature trips, as these are often popular in Mongolia.
SIM cards are readily available in Mongolia. Visit mobile phone stores or kiosks at the airport and in Ulaanbaatar. Providers like Unitel or MobiCom offer prepaid cards that include affordable data packages. Bring your passport for identification. Network coverage may vary in rural areas, so plan ahead.
