What the Mongolia visa rules mean for Tajikistan travellers
Tajikistan passport holders need an eVisa to enter Mongolia. You apply online, upload a passport scan and a photo, pay the fee and receive the visa by email; it allows stays of up to 30 days. Apply at least one to two weeks before your trip and print the approval — some airlines and border officers ask to see it on paper.
The main option is the e-visa (K2, tourism).
