India to Mongolia visa requirements

Indian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Mongolia. The simplest route for a short tourist visit is the K2 tourist eVisa applied online via the official portal evisa.mn before travel. It is single-entry, allows a stay of up to 30 days, and is valid for 150 days from issue. Mongolia is not visa-free for Indian ordinary passport holders. There is no Schengen involvement (Mongolia is in East/Central Asia). The recommended channel for tourism is the electronic visa (K2 tourist category) submitted through Mongolia's official Immigration Agency portal at evisa.mn. The eVisa is single-entry, permits a stay of up to 30 days, and remains valid for 150 days from the date of issue. Processing is typically up to 3 working days. Visa-on-arrival is also available to Indian nationals at Chinggis Khaan International Airport in Ulaanbaatar for tourism (30-day stay) with supporting documents, but it is conditional and the eVisa is the more reliable, predictable option to arrange in advance. Travelers should hold a passport valid at least 6 months, proof of onward/return travel, accommodation confirmation, and proof of sufficient funds. Sources consulted in 2025-2026 are consistent that a visa is required and that India is among the eligible eVisa nationalities; conflicting "visa-free" claims on some third-party sites are not supported by the official Immigration Agency of Mongolia.
