The visa-free travel agreement between the governments of Japan and Mongolia comes into effect from today (15th of November). Mongolian diplomatic passport holders can now travel without a visa to Japan for up to 30 days. However, diplomatic passport holders should carry official documentation with them at all time confirming that they are travelling in connection with their work. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns that ‘If they use their diplomatic passports for personal purposes, they could be denied entry’. In this case, they should apply for Japanese visas in accordance with the standard procedure.
Ordinary Mongolian passport holders are able to travel to Japan for 15 days without a visa once every three years.
The Mongolian government has discussed visa-free travel agreements for diplomatic passport holders with 25 countries.
