Government Lifts Permit Requirements for 146 Business Activities www.montsame.mn
The Government of Mongolia has adopted a resolution on “Certain Measures to Support the Business Environment” at its meeting on April 15, 2026.
Under the resolution, individuals can now notify their intended business activity through the e-business.mn system and start operations immediately.
Prime Minister Uchral Nyam-Osor said supporting every citizen willing to work and create is a core government policy. He noted that while 381 types of activities require permits under the Law on Permits, all others should be conducted without licensing. However, in practice, many services not subject to permits still involve excessive paperwork, delays and bureaucratic barriers. In Ulaanbaatar, depending on the type of permit, entrepreneurs have had to wait three months or more after submitting applications to start a business.
The prime minister emphasized that the resolution aims to free citizens from such “permit-like” restrictions and instructed relevant officials to ensure proper implementation and oversight.
The resolution removes administrative and documentation requirements for 146 business activities across eight categories. Authorities have also been instructed to ensure that the e-business.mn unified licensing system is fully operational, including notification functions, necessary infrastructure, and professional guidance. The Financial Information Technology Center, the E-Mongolia State-Owned Enterprise, and the National Data Center have been tasked with supporting implementation.
