INTRODUCTION

This country Profile describes examples of well-developed areas of the Republic of Mongolia’s governance structures and areas with potential for further development, as evaluated through the six domains of the Migration Governance Indicators (MGI). These address migrants’ rights, a “whole-of-government” approach, partnerships, socioeconomic well-being of migrants, the mobility dimensions of crises, and safe and orderly migration.

Key findings
MIGRANTS’ RIGHTS

Migration Governance: examples of well-developed areas

  • Regular migrants in Mongolia have access to Government-funded health services, including compulsory insurance for employed individuals, and voluntary options for the unemployed, as per the Law on Health Insurance (2015, last amended in 2022).

Key findings

  • The Laws on Civil State Registration (2018), on the Legal Status of Foreign Nationals (2010, last amended in 2023), on Citizenship (1995, last amended 2022), and on Labour Force Migration (2021, last amended in 2023) serve as Mongolia’s primary legislation regulating immigration.
  • Information on migration regulations and criteria are available to the public and published on the Unified Legal Information System website, in both Mongolian and English languages.

  • There is no coordination mechanism to compile and harmonize migration data collected by various government agencies. 
Key findings
PARTNERSHIPS

Migration Governance: examples of well-developed areas
