Do I need a visa for Netherlands from Mongolia?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Mongolian nationals must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit the Netherlands. An ordinary Mongolian passport does not grant visa-free entry to the Schengen Area.
The Netherlands applies the common Schengen visa policy, and Mongolia is among the countries whose citizens require a visa. Tourist stays are capped at 90 days within any 180-day period. A Dutch-issued visa is valid throughout the Schengen Area as long as the Netherlands remains the main destination of the trip.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Mongolian traveller going to the Netherlands for tourism, a visit or a short business meeting must apply for a Type C Schengen visa. The Netherlands must be your main destination — the country where you spend the most nights, or your point of entry if nights are split equally — for the Dutch mission to be competent.
How and where to apply
As the Netherlands does not always run its own visa desk in Ulaanbaatar, applications from Mongolian residents are often outsourced to an authorised provider (VFS Global or TLScontact) or handled by a partner Schengen embassy representing the Netherlands in the region. Check netherlandsworldwide.nl to identify the competent centre, book an appointment and submit in person so your biometric data can be captured.
Documents and fees
Gather the signed Schengen application form, a passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned return, two recent compliant photos, travel insurance covering at least €30,000 (medical costs and repatriation), a return flight reservation, proof of accommodation and evidence of funds. The visa fee is normally €90 for an adult; verify the amount and payment method with the submission centre.
Processing and practical tips
Expect roughly 15 to 45 days of processing. Apply up to six months before departure and never less than 15 days ahead. Plan the trip to the submission centre from Ulaanbaatar, since Mongolia may not have a local counter — factor travel costs into your schedule. A clear itinerary and consistent finances speed up the review.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not apply to the Netherlands if your main stay is in another Schengen country — the application would be inadmissible. Watch out for an insured amount that is too low, a passport with insufficient validity, or unconfirmed reservations. Avoid paying for non-refundable tickets before the consular decision.
