A total of 2838 Mongolian citizens are eligible to travel to the Republic of Korea without visa, if requirements are satisfied. However, these citizens’ rights have been violated due to enforcement of new visa regulation by South Korea. The two sides have agreed to issue 5 year-multiple entrance visas to those citizens, considering stamps on their passports and without causing any obstacles. South Korea is a country, where the most number of Mongolians abroad resides in. The consulate officials also informed that the issue to allow Mongolians working and living in the Czech Republic to be involved in social insurance will be resolved as well as online course of Mongolian language for children residing abroad will be launched soon.
