Getting to Mongolia

Mongolia welcomes the world again. With fully open borders and straightforward entry, there's never been a better time to experience the vast steppes, ancient nomadic culture, and untamed wilderness of this extraordinary land.

Mongolia Is Open — Here's What You Need to Know

Current Entry Requirements

  • No pre-departure testing required — No supplementary test needed before you fly
  • No testing on arrival — Border points do not require health screenings
  • No quarantine or self-isolation — Begin your adventure the moment you land
  • No restrictions on domestic travel — Travel freely between provinces and on domestic flights with no additional requirements
