Canada to Mongolia visa requirements

Canadian ordinary passport holders can visit Mongolia visa-free for tourism for up to 30 days. No visa, eVisa, or pre-arrival application is needed. As of 2026, Canadian citizens holding an ordinary passport do not need a visa to enter Mongolia for tourism or short visits of up to 30 days. The Government of Canada travel advisory and Mongolia's visa policy both confirm this. The exemption for Canadians is a long-standing arrangement with no stated expiry date (unlike Mongolia's temporary visa-waiver program for many other nationalities, which runs through end-2026). Travelers must hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended departure date, with at least two blank pages, and should carry proof of onward or return travel. Visa-free entry covers tourism only; business, study, work, or stays longer than 30 days require an appropriate visa or registration. Anyone staying more than 30 days must register with Mongolia's immigration authority (the Office of Immigration, Naturalization and Foreign Citizens) within 48 hours of arrival. Border officers make the final entry decision, so funds, accommodation details, and a clear travel purpose should be available if asked.
