Vietnamese tourists will pay 25 USD and extras for the e-visa after filling the forms on the Mongolian Immigration Agency’s website. The e-visas are sent to tourists’ emails after three working days, which can be printed or saved on phones to be presented at the country’s border.

E-visas are only available for tourism, transits, and event participation.

Before the update, Vietnamese could only apply for regular visas, which take 5-7 working days.
