Mongolia generally requires a visa for a stay of more than 30 days. Travelers from many countries, including Germany, can, however, enter without a visa for up to 30 days. To apply for a visa, visit the official embassy or consulate. A visa is not available at the airport, so plan ahead. Also, utilize online services, if available, to speed up the process.
The Chinggis Khaan International Airport (ULN) in Ulaanbaatar is the most used airport in Mongolia. International flights are handled here. From Ulaanbaatar, you can organize motorcycle trips to various destinations. Be sure to book a flight that fits your travel plans, especially for domestic flights for long distances within Mongolia.
The local currency in Mongolia is the Tugrik (MNT). Credit cards are mainly accepted in larger cities like Ulaanbaatar, but cash is important in rural areas. It is advisable to have cash on hand to pay for local markets or guesthouses. ATMs are available in cities, but check the fees and limits in advance.
There are no mandatory vaccinations for Mongolia, but vaccination against hepatitis A and tetanus is recommended. A travel insurance is also highly advisable to cover medical emergencies. Make sure that your insurance also covers cycling tours. Consult a doctor in advance for individual recommendations based on your travel plans.
To drive in Mongolia, you need a valid driver's license from your home country as well as an international driving permit. This is useful as proof of your ability to drive. To obtain a SIM card, visit local shops or an airport provider. Look out for offers for tourists that include data packages to stay connected.
