The Immigration Agency of Mongolia says that inspections in January 2026 led to the deportation of 78 foreign nationals from 12 countries, each banned from re-entering Mongolia for 3–5 years. Nationality breakdown: 53 from China, 11 from Russia, 3 from Uzbekistan, 2 from Vietnam, 2 from Kyrgyzstan and 7 from other countries.
Authorities said the deportations were ordered for reasons including overstaying visas or residence permits, working without the required permission, engaging in activities other than the declared purpose of entry, and cases where foreigners had been convicted and served sentences.
The department noted that 1,222 foreign nationals were deported in the previous year, an increase of 41.4% from the year before.
Separately, in cooperation with the Investigation Department of the Criminal Police Service, Mongolian authorities organised the hand-over of a Chinese national, M.U., on 26–27 January 2026. M.U.’s Mongolian residence permit was revoked under relevant law and he was returned to authorities in his country of origin to face legal proceedings.
