Official Information

Overview

For foreign nationals whose family member already resides in Mongolia for private purposes, or who wish to visit for family reunification.

The Family Visa (Type H) is established under the Law of Mongolia on the Legal Status of Foreign Nationals to allow foreign nationals to join family members who are already legally residing in the country. It addresses the need for family reunification, ensuring that spouses, children, and other dependents can live together while the primary visa holder fulfills their professional, investment, or educational obligations in Mongolia.

This visa is specifically for the dependents of foreign nationals who hold a valid residence permit in Mongolia. The ideal applicant is a family member, such as a spouse or a child under the age of 18, of an existing resident. The visa is distinctive because it is tied directly to the status of the primary resident; it does not typically grant the right to work independently, but it allows families to maintain a stable life together in Mongolia without the need for separate, independent visa sponsorship.
