United Arab Emirates to Mongolia visa requirements

UAE ordinary passport holders can visit Mongolia visa-free for up to 30 days per visit. No visa or eVisa is required for short tourist stays. As of June 2026, holders of an ordinary United Arab Emirates passport do not need a visa to visit Mongolia for tourism or short visits of up to 30 days per visit. Under a mutual visa-exemption Memorandum of Understanding that entered into force on 28 December 2023, UAE nationals holding ordinary, special, mission and diplomatic passports may enter Mongolia visa-free for up to 30 days per visit. Travelers present a passport valid for at least six months beyond entry at a Mongolian port of entry; no advance application, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is needed for the visa-free stay. Mongolia Immigration's current FAQ says the hotel, landlord or host must register foreign nationals online or by app within 48 hours after entry, so travelers should ensure their accommodation or host completes this step. If a UAE traveler needs to stay beyond 30 days, Mongolia Immigration says visa-exempt temporary visitors under mutual travel agreements may apply once for an extension of up to 30 days, at least 5 working days before the permitted stay expires, subject to approval and state stamp duty. Mongolia is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
