eVisa is the only option
Cambodian passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Mongolia. You must apply for the eVisa online before you travel. No exceptions.
Check your passport validity carefully
Count 6 months from the day you land in Mongolia, not from when you leave. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be turned away at the airport.

Apply for the eVisa online
Go to evisa.mn, fill in your details, upload a passport-style photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee (around $50 USD) with a credit card. Processing usually takes 3–5 business days.

Receive and save your eVisa
