Ministry of Foreign Affairs issues statement

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ In response to alleged reports that Chinese nationals will be granted visa-free entrance to Mongolia for up to 30 days, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on January 22, denying the above claim. The statement read that the matter of foreign nationals’ visa-free travel to Mongolia is regulated in regard to international agreements, and no decision has been taken by the Government regarding visa-free entrance for Chinese nationals. Mutual travels by Mongolian and Chinese nationals continue to be regulated by Mongolia-China agreement established in 1989. Chinese nationals with regular passports apply for a Mongolian visa on the occasion of visiting Mongolia. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs encouraged the people to avoid unofficial reports of unfounded claims, and refer to official sources in cases such as this.
