What the e-Visa means
The Indian e-Visa for Mongolian citizens is an electronic travel authorisation that removes the need to visit an embassy. You apply entirely online and receive approval by email. Print the authorisation and carry it with your passport when travelling.
This visa covers tourism, short business trips and medical visits. It is valid for entry at 28 airports and 5 seaports in India. You cannot enter by land border with this visa. Always verify the latest list of designated ports on the official site.
Before you travel and on arrival
Apply on the official e-Visa website at least a few days before your planned departure. You need a digital photo and a scanned copy of your passport bio page. The application asks for travel details and a valid email address.
On arrival at an Indian airport, proceed to the e-Visa counter. The immigration officer checks your passport and the printed authorisation. Biometrics, such as fingerprints, are taken at the counter. The process is straightforward for most travellers.
Arriving in big cities and travelling
Mongolian citizens with an e-Visa can enter through major airports like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai and Kolkata. From the airport, you can take a prepaid taxi or use app-based services to reach your hotel. Public transport such as metro trains and buses connects the airport to city centres.
You can travel freely between Indian states and cities while your e-Visa is valid. Domestic flights, trains and buses are available. Always carry your passport and a copy of the e-Visa. Check the official site for any restrictions on certain regions.
Staying longer, working or studying
The e-Visa is for short stays only. If you plan to work, study or stay longer, you must apply for a different visa category at the Indian embassy in Ulaanbaatar. The e-Visa does not permit employment or long-term study.
For business activities beyond meetings or conferences, a business visa is required. Students need a student visa. Medical treatment is covered under the e-Medical Visa. Always consult the official site for the correct visa type before applying.
