Unfortunately Mongolia seems to be too risky even in 2022, neither Iran nor Mongolia are issuing tourist visas because of the Covid pandemic. We decided to postpone by one more year.
And to join the Budapest-Bamako 2022 instead!
We start on January 28, 2022 in Budapest, and will hopefully cross the finish line on February 15, in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
Just out of curiosity I checked the state of my Iran visa application today. I haven’t received any update for 6 months, but when I enter the application ID on the homepage of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it still says “processing”.
Unfortunately the spreading of covid-19 and the lockdowns and border closures make it impossible to travel this year.
For a short time we considered shifting to autumn, but temperatures in Mongolia drop below freezing at the end of September already. Reluctantly we are postponing the trip…
Btw my Iranian visa is still being processed….
