Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

Visa permission is applied for online with the Immigration Agency of Mongolia as issuing authority (standard 5 working days, expedited 3). K4 applicants for up to 30 days gather the listed materials when applying at a Mongolian diplomatic mission or international border point. Visa permission is valid for 60 days, and the visa stamp is collected at a Mongolian diplomatic mission, consulate or representative office abroad or at an appointed border crossing point. Under the law, a temporary visitor's stay may be extended once for up to 30 days.
