The entry visa is required for many nationalities and must be obtained before departure. Check if your country has a visa exemption agreement with Mongolia, by contacting your local Embassy of Mongolia.Exceeding the validity date of the visa is liable to a heavy fine.

The citizens from some countries can also apply to an e-visa on the dedicated website.

Travellers wishing to visit China or Russia before or after their tour in Mongolia must obtain the necessary visa from the consulate in their home country. Indeed, it is so far not possible to obtain a visa to enter the territories of China and Russia at the border with both countries.

Vaccines and health in Mongolia

For most nationalities, no vaccine is mandatory.

We recommend, however, to be up to date for usual vaccinations (tetanus, typhoid, hepatitis ...).

Drink only bottled water and avoid raw fruits and vegetables.

It is important to be physically fit to undertake a trip to Mongolia, because some areas are very remote.

Always take your usual medications in sufficient quantities, and place them in your hand luggage to be sure to have them in case of lost luggage.

A medical travel insurance is compulsory.

 

Time in Mongolia

Electricity in Mongolia

Plugs type C and E.

Most yurt camps have electricity and you can charge phones and cameras in the evening.

For camping trips, we recommend that you take a powerbank, at least for your phone and the electric devices that you charge with an USB plug.

You can charge on the cigarette lighter of the vehicle. You can also take a solar charger with you.

 

 

What to put in your luggage for a tour in Mongolia?

You will receive a list of equipment to take depending on the trip, ride or hike you have chosen in Mongolia.

In all cases, keep in mind that you can experience the four seasons in one day anywhere in Mongolia and even in midsummer. So do not forget light clothing, but also warm ones and a windbreaker.
