In September, Mongolia reported an increasing number of Russian citizens crossing the Mongolia-Russia border and applying for temporary residency status or, in some cases, an extension of stay.

Since late September, thousands of Russian citizens had fled into Mongolia, seeking a temporary stay. The Mongolian Immigration Agency reported that 6,268 Russian citizens have entered Mongolia via the Altanbulag Border Port.

Moreover, between September 21-29, 748 Russian citizens extended their temporary residence status in Mongolia. The following week, more than 1,000 people sought legal advice and immigration counseling on applying for temporary residency.
