Mongolia is a large modern country, located in East Asia and has no access to the sea coast. The colourful Asian state attracts many foreigners with its "European" level of development. Natural landscapes, cultural and historical heritage, and modern infrastructure - this is not the whole potential that this country has. Despite the low standard of living, moving to Mongolia for permanent residence can be a very right decision.

Let's start with the pros:

1. Unique natural resources, thanks to which Mongolia has the cleanest ecological environment.

2. Stable economic and political environment.

3. Hospitality and complete tranquillity of the local population. Even though the Mongols are nomadic people, they are very smiling and friendly.

4. The labour market is also well-developed. There will be no problems with finding a job.

5. Opportunity to get a job on any diploma. A skilled worker is highly valued here.

6. Low crime rate also plays a key role.

7. The state is developed at the level of many EU countries. The most populated city - the capital Ulaanbaatar fully complies with European standards.

Before specifically approaching the issue of immigration to Mongolia, you need to understand the specifics of the country, its standard of living, and conditions for permanent residence. In addition, the language barrier plays an important role. Knowledge (at least a little) of the Mongolian language is a must.

Let's consider some points:

1. Low quality of life, especially compared to Europe and some other Asian countries, such as Uzbekistan.

2. The continental climate of this state is harsh. In winter, there are severe frosts, and in summer, the contrary is a very scorching sun.

3. The educational infrastructure is underdeveloped.

4. Even if you have received citizenship and a passport from Mongolia, this does not allow you to travel to EU countries without a visa permit.

It is possible to obtain permanent residence by naturalization by living in Mongolia for at least 3 years. Many foreign residents can stay in the country for one month without obtaining a Mongolian visa. Otherwise, a visa permit is required. The visa category will depend on the main purpose of the move.
