Those who plan to stay for more than 30 days require an invitation from state administrative organization, political party, public organization, economic entity, Mongolian citizen, or foreign citizen who has resided in Mongolia for more than three months. Mongolian residents and foreign citizens residing in Mongolia for an extended period must have their invitations to be approved by the Citizens registration and information bureau.
