Holders of Diplomatic and Official Passports in Mongolia and Poland are now able to travel to each other’s countries without a visa. The signing of the “Agreement of Visa free requirements for Diplomatic and Official passport holders between the Government of Mongolia and Poland” was signed on June 29th, 2011 to be effective from April 4th, 2014, allows travel for up to 90 days within a period of 180 days.

Misunderstandings had arisen from the use of the term “official passport” in the implementation of the previous “Agreement of Visa free requirements for Diplomatic and Official passport holders between the Government of Mongolia and Poland”. An official passport is translated into English as a “service passport”, which meant that some official passport holders faced misunderstandings at Polish Customs. So both sides decided to review the Agreement to fix the confusing terminology.

In addition, “the intergovernmental agreement between Turkey and Mongolia on the mutual exemption of visas” was signed on October 10th, 2013 in Ankara. The agreement came into effect on April 11th. Nationals of each country can now travel for up to 30 days within a period of 180 days without a visa under the visa-free term.
