Maybe this is the wrong forum to write to, however, this is partly travel related.

I will be travelling to Mongolia - and working there for more than 3 month. I applied for the 180 days visa, which was costly and a cumbersome process. However, I got it back (Classification S - Student, Trainee etc.) and it says "Duration of Stay: 0". I phoned the embassy and they said that it was normal and that I need to obtain a residence permit once I am in Mongolia.

So my question is - is this…

Hi everyone !

We are a french couple coming to Mongolia in August for a month (Aug, 5th til Sep 2nd).
We would like to book a one way flight from UB to Moron but can't seem to find a way to do it online (leaving from UB on Aug, 7th). Does anyone have an idea of how we could do this ?
We are also looking for a guide / driver in Moron that could drive us for a couple of weeks around the lake region and back to UB.
Any recommendation / tips ?

Thank you and have a lovely day !

Tata

Two friendly and adventurous minded (24yo female and 27yo male) Belgians are looking for travel companions for ou trip in Mongolia, next week. We're traveling with a lightweight backpack, already bringing our own camping gear.

Hi!
My wife and I will be in Mongolia the first 2 weeks of September and wanted to ask about going to Gobi.

We were planning on flying to Dalanzadgad and then hoping to find a jeep/group going out to the desert to see the sights (atleast the 3 famous ones).

- How many days should I account for this? I'm thinking that 3 days would be sufficient.
- How easy will it be to find a jeep or other people in Dalanzadgad in early September?
- Any other recommendations for places to go for that area?

Are there a lot of Chinese tourists in UB and/or other areas during PRC's National Day vacation period (this year from, say, 28 Sept to 8 Oct)?

If so, to what degree and impact?
