Depends on your nationality. At least 65 nationalities enjoy visa-free access to Mongolia, including the United Kingdom, the United States, and all of the European Union. However, it’s important to check for your nationality before travelling to Mongolia. Where visas are required, e-Visas are available for many nationalities, whilst others can be applied for through local embassies with the support of a registered travel company.
 

The travel season in Mongolia begins around mid-May, and lasts until mid-September. Outside of these months, the weather begins to turn, and during the winter, travel is more difficult due to the freezing temperatures. Most travellers visit the country between June or August, making the most of the warmer weather. In early July, the country celebrates the traditional Naadam cultural festival, a chance to mix with locals and experience a true ancient Mongolian festival. This does, of course, make July a busier period for travellers.
 

Yes. Mongolia is widely considered to be a safe country for travellers. Due to the vast nature of the country itself and the difficulty in navigation, we always recommend travelling alongside a trained driver and fully qualified local guide.
 

The official language of Mongolia is Mongolian, which is known for being tricky for foreigners to master, and unrelated to the surrounding langauges of Russian and Chinese. The official script is Cyrillic, although traditional Mongolian script is slowly being reintroduced. Local people, especially younger people, tend to use latin script to communicate in Mongolian, so this is also commonplace.
 

The official currency the Tugrik (MNT) and can be accessed through local ATMS across the country, or exchanged for foreign currencies at the airport, in many local hotels in Ulaanbaatar, and at local banks.
