During the consultative
meeting, the sides discussed matters, including social issues facing people who
work under labor contract, facilitation of travel conditions for citizens of both
countries, in particular to reconsider current practice that Mongolians are
required to deposit money as a collateral when they apply for Korean visa, solve
matters regarding refusals for Mongolians at the border even though they
obtained the visa, as well as to decrease the incidence that Mongolian citizens exceed visa term and reside illegally in
South Korea.
Although there are still cases recorded that Mongolian citizens commit criminal offences in South
Korea, the statistics showed that a number of Mongolians who committed criminal offences decreased by 9.7 percent in the last two years.
