Frequently asked questions
No. Libyan passport holders must get an e-visa before travelling. There is no visa on arrival at any Mongolian airport or land border.
Typically 3–5 business days. Apply at least a week before your flight to be safe. During Mongolian holidays it can take longer.
The fee varies by nationality and processing speed. For Libyan passports, expect around $50–80 USD. Check evisa.mn for the exact amount when you apply.
No. The e-visa is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must leave and re-apply from outside Mongolia.
You will be denied boarding by the airline and denied entry by Mongolian immigration. Renew your passport before applying for the visa.
It's not a formal requirement, but immigration may ask how you'll support yourself. Having a credit card or a few hundred dollars in cash is sensible.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You'll be fined per day and could be banned from re-entering. Leave before your visa expires.
