What it means in practice

90 days is about three months. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 29 January 2027, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.

How Mongolia counts your stay: Your host, organisation or accommodation must register you online within 48 hours of arrival. If you stay longer than 30 days, register with the Immigration Agency of Mongolia within 7 days of arrival.

For United States passports: Visa-free: 90 days.

  • Passport valid at least 6 months
  • Return or onward ticket (especially under the tourist exemption)
  • Copy of the e-Visa, if applicable

How to avoid overstaying

  • Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
  • Plan to leave a day or two early. With 90 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
  • Extend before you run out. e-Visas cannot be extended. Other visa extensions and residence permits are handled by the Immigration Agency of Mongolia (immigration.gov.mn) before your permitted stay ends.
  • Penalties. Our data does not list the overstay penalty for Mongolia. Ask the immigration authority before you risk it: fines, deportation and entry bans are common elsewhere.
