What the Mongolia visa rules mean for South Korea travellers
South Korea citizens can enter Mongolia without a visa and stay for up to 90 days. You only need a valid South Korea passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay.
