Since future flights are not confirmed or guaranteed to operate you are strongly encouraged to depart on one of these flights if you wish to depart Mongolia.

To request a reservation on these flights, please contact MIAT Mongolian Airlines Sales Manager at tserendagva@miat.com or dial their call center at +976 11-333-999.

The Embassy does not know the price of tickets.  You will be required to pay MIAT Mongolian Airlines directly for your travel.  Though the Embassy does not endorse the services of MIAT Mongolian Airlines, it is recommended that you book your onward travel to the United States at the same time you pay for your flight from Mongolia.  Doing so will ensure that you do not risk quarantine at your transfer point.

If you require financial assistance to pay for your travel to the United States, please clearly indicate this in your email.  The Embassy is able to provide such assistance and your timely request will ensure that you receive the funds needed to return home.

Please continue to check the CDC’s COVID-19-specific website and the page for international travelers in order to stay updated on relevant regulations and rule changes for travel: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/index.html.

Should you experience difficulties with the above process, please contact the Consular Section at +976 7007-6001 during regular business hours to request assistance.
