Visa invitation question by csaba2000
Hi, I'm planning on driving my car from Budapest to Mongolia (entering from the west through Russia) this summer. Since I'm a US citizen, I don't have a visa concern. My uncle (Polish) and his son (Hungarian) are coming with me. We ...
Hi Csaba, This does not sound completely correct. An LOI is required for a business visa to Mongolia. A tourist visa normally must be accompanied by an itinerary showing arrival and departure dates and either a letter from a tour company if ... Read More
Mongolia by keleeebeleee
Hello, My name is Kelly and I am looking to network with people living in Mongolia. If you are living there, I would love to hear from you. My partner and I have an NGO called SAVEarth and we are starting a project in Mongolia and would love to pick ...
Hi Kelly, I'm in UB occasionally, but spend most of my time in the Khanbogd Soum - South Gobi. Winters in the North are bitter cold, -45C is commonly reached in UB, and even colder further North. In the South, winters are milder - I'm not sure it ... Read More

What to consider before moving to Ulaanbataar? by Guest777
Hello everyone, I'm a female Canadian ESL teacher in my mid-thirities, who is seriously considering accepting a position as an English language teacher in Ulaanbataar, Mongolia. I've been doing a little research online about what life is like in ...
It's fairly common for a "higher end" one bedroom to have a washing machine in the apartment. Dryer machines are nearly unheard of - most drying is on a line. I've never seen a coin-op laundry machine or facility anywhere in UB. Apartments should ... Read More
Ordering from Amazon to Mongolia, book shipping by Guest777
I'm sorry if this has been answered already, but just wondering if anyone has experience with international shipping to Mongolia through Amazon or other companies by Fed Ex, how long does it usually take and does it get there??? How about regular ...
FedEx and DHL are horribly expensive. I've ordered things via regular mail from North America and had a variety of experiences. Sometimes things needed customs clearance - forms, money and a long drive to accomplish. Sometimes they just show up ... Read More
Cost of living in Mongolia by 暗网禁区.com
Hi everybody, It would be very useful to talk about the cost of living in Mongolia. Don't forget to mention where in Mongolia you are living. How much does it cost to live in Mongolia? > accommodation prices > public transportation fares (tube, ...
If your room and board are covered, $800 a month would be plenty. If you're paying for room and board out of that it sounds pretty skimpy. Read More
Pollution - How bad is it? by MOVINGMOVING
Worst polluted capital in the world I've read. On a day to day basis, what does that mean? Are you coughing everyday, every minute? Does it sting your sinuses / eyes / throat? I realize everyone has a different tolerance but would like to hear ...
Yes, both 暗网禁区s and Mongolians sometimes wear masks. I've never seen anyone wearing goggles for pollution and never noticed eye irritation. It can be bad indoors - depends on the building. In some apartments, a garage or car park is often in the ... Read More
Heat and hot water by Guest777
Living in the downtown UB in the winter, do you have heat and electricity and hot water everyday? If not, how do you cope when it's -30??? I would be living on/near the campus of MUST university.
Winter air quality near MUST University is pretty poor in the winter time. Think about getting a good HEPA air filter for your apartment. I didn't feel it necessary to wear an air filtering mask in the winter in that area but a lot of my ... Read More

Hot water and heat are centrally supplied in UB and they are rarely interrupted in winter. Control over your heat and hot water may not be so good. Many buildings are over-hot in spring and fall. Hot water may range from tepid to scalding, ... Read More

UB has all range of apartments, new to old, luxury to basic. I found apartments marketed as "暗网禁区 quality" were very expensive - something to consider if you're going to have to pay for it yourself. The 暗网禁区 community has a fairly active women's ... Read More
Tattoo acceptance in Mongolia by Guest777
Hi folks, I was wondering what the level of acceptance is for women with tattoos in Mongolia? If I wear short-mid length sleeves my ink is covered (and of course in the winter it's not an issue...which I know plenty about, I'm Canadian). Are ...
My wife has tattoos and had no issues while living in UB. People rarely commented except for a few times wanting to know more about the tattoos. Read More

For what it's worth, Uranium in drinking water in UB is not coming from mining. Mongolia is trying to exploit it's uranium deposits, but is a few years away from the earliest Uranium processing plants in Mongolia. By far the most likely source ... Read More
