The route covers a foreign national coming to Mongolia to engage in religious activity ("Шашны үйл ажиллагаа эрхлэх зорилгоор ирэх гадаадын иргэн").

What organisation, institution, religious body, charity, teacher or host must support the activity?

The visa table marks the J category as filed by the inviting organisation ("Уригч байгууллага мэдүүлнэ"); on extension, the official request comes from the inviting organisation or legal entity (stating the type of activity and duration of stay), with the legal entity's state registration certificate and special licence if one applies.
