All the information you need to relocate and live in Mongolia.
Covering the territory of 1,565,000 km² with only 1.7 people per km², Mongolia is one of the least inhabited independent countries in the world. Its total population is a bit over three million people, and the country's vast unpopulated landscapes are one of its main charms.
The capital and starting point for exploring the country is Ulaanbaatar with 1.38 million people. Other big cities are Erdenet, Mörön, Tsetserleg, and the ancient capital of Karakorum. The country's official language is Khalkha Mongol, though Russian and Turkic are also occasionally spoken.
Mongolia's economy used to rely primarily on agriculture and herding until the discovery of large deposits of gold, copper, coal, molybdenum, fluorspar, uranium, tungsten, and tin, which are now the country's main exports.
Mongolia offers a unique wilderness experience. The country boasts vast prairies, rugged mountains, and clear lakes, and is the perfect spot for getting back into nature. Here, you can explore the traditional lifestyle; you can sit side by side with local herders, ride horses, and rest in a yurt (a circular tent used by herders).
Mongolia is a developing country, and the infrastructure and basic facilities outside the capital are limited.
Mongolia is interested in developing its tourism sector, which is reflected in a relaxed visa policy. The country allows visa-free access to the citizens of 22 countries. However, the period of permitted stay depends on your country of origin. Alternatively, you will need to apply for a visa in advance at an Embassy or Consulate.
