Which family relationships qualify?

On the J-1 page, "family member" means a foreign national's husband, wife, partner, father, mother, grandfather, grandmother and children (under the age of 18), with proof; the visa table lists J-1 as a related person of a foreign national coming to engage in religious activity.

  • The definition is generic to family-member permits.

Who may sponsor or bring the family member, and what immigration/citizenship status must that person hold?

The principal is a foreign national in Mongolia for religious purposes (J); the visa table marks this category as filed by the inviting organisation ("Уригч байгууллага мэдүүлнэ"), and on extension the official request comes from the inviting organisation/legal entity.

What is important for proving marriage, partnership, parentage, custody, dependency or another qualifying relationship?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the evidence needed to prove the family relationship.

What important financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance responsibilities apply?

The inviter must guarantee the financial sources required for the stay (law Art. 10.1.2). An address statement from the local sum/khoroo authority is required if staying more than six months. The official source does not state an amount or an insurance requirement.
