Guide last updated September 23, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry
  • No visa required for stays up to 30 days under the France-Mongolia visa waiver
  • Return or onward ticket recommended
  • Proof of accommodation may be requested
  • No photo or biometrics required for the visa-free entry
  • Travel health insurance strongly recommended, given limited medical infrastructure outside Ulaanbaatar

Visa types

  • No visa needed for stays up to 30 days for tourism or business
  • For stays beyond 30 days, or for work/study, an e-visa or ordinary visa must be obtained in advance via the Mongolian e-visa portal (evisa.mn) or a Mongolian consulate

Entry conditions

  • French citizens can enter Mongolia visa-free for up to 30 days per visit under the France-Mongolia visa waiver arrangement
  • No work is permitted under the visa-free entry
  • Extending beyond 30 days is generally not possible without leaving and reapplying under a different visa category via the Mongolian Immigration Agency in Ulaanbaatar

Fees & processing time

  • No fee for the visa-free 30-day entry
  • If applying via evisa.mn for a longer-stay e-visa instead, the fee is approximately USD 53, with processing of 3-5 business days

Tips for France travelers

  • Confirm your total planned stay before travel - if it may exceed 30 days, apply for the e-visa in advance via evisa.mn rather than relying on the waiver
  • Direct flights from Europe to Ulaanbaatar are limited, usually connecting via Moscow, Istanbul, Beijing, or Seoul - plan for any transit visa needs
  • The French Embassy in Ulaanbaatar can assist with emergencies
  • Carry cash in Mongolian tögrög outside the capital, where card acceptance is limited
