Hello everyone!

Me and my boyfriend are planning to do the Transmongolian express next May/June (10) We are going travelling this November to Africa but don't think I will be able to arrange the visa's from there.

After Africa we are planning to travel to my home country (Holland) first and sort our visa's from there which takes up some time about a month and that is with a visa company approx 195 Euro.. but we rather not wait a month for that and just go.

My question: Is it possible to sort my russian visa in Holland and the rest as we travel? I found out I should be able to get a mongolian visa in Russia but cant find much info about obtaining the Chinese visa in Mongolia, can we get an Chinese visa in Mongolia easy enough or better to sort it all in Holland and be done with it??

any info greatly appreciated..

Maria

You can get a Chinese visa in UB. The embassy is open M/W/F. You need a statement from your bank, passport type photo, an onward ticket (out of China--you can get a refundable air ticket then cancel it if you want), and an address where you plan to stay (just pick something out of LP if you don't know yet).

Read this thread: Chinese Visa in UB

Don't try getting the Mongolian visa in Moscow, but it should be possible in Irkutsk or Ulan Ude.

Generally speaking, you are likely to get a longer entry with less hassle if you apply at home.

Thank you all for your help, I think I will sort it all at home to make sure I don't get stuck half way.

Thanks again:)

In the US I got a 1-year multi-entry visa for China. In Ulaan Baatar it cost just as much for a 90-day single entry visa.
