Minor errors might be correctable, but significant errors (especially in passport details) may require a new application and payment.

Yes, you can apply for a Mongolia eVisa from anywhere in the world as long as you have internet access. Your nationality (as per your passport), not your current location, determines your eligibility for an eVisa.

If your eVisa application is rejected, you'll receive an email explaining the reason. Common reasons include incomplete documentation, ineligibility, or inconsistencies in the provided information. You can address the issues and submit a new application. Our customer support team is available to assist you in understanding the rejection reason and guiding you through the reapplication process.

eVisas cannot be extended online.
