The network covers Mongolia within the East Asia region. Payslips there are drawn up in MNT, and dealings with a local firm are conducted in Mongolian.
The business centres where the network is looking for a correspondent as a priority are Oulan-Bator, Erdenet, Darkhan, Choibalsan.
The country lies outside the European Union and outside the European Economic Area: the A1 certificate has no standing there. Whether the employee remains in the scheme of origin then depends on the bilateral social security agreement, if any, concluded with the sending country; where no such agreement exists, dual affiliation must be expected and budgeted into the assignment.
The answer to this question changes everything: it determines to whom you may entrust your payslips locally, and what you must ask for before signing. It has been verified country by country with the local authorities.
In Mongolia, running payroll on behalf of third parties is reserved by law to no registered profession: any company may take it on. The absence of a legal barrier shifts the checking onto you, and that is why the network itself verifies the registration, the tax and social security standing and the insurance cover of every firm before listing it.
La paie seule n'est pas une profession réglementée en Mongolie. En revanche la fourniture de services comptables à des tiers relève d'un régime d'autorisation administré par le ministère des Finances, et le titre de мэргэшсэн нягтлан бодогч (CPA) est décerné et tenu par le MonICPA. Pour un partenaire mongol, la combinaison utile est : autorisation d'exercice de l'entité + un CPA en exercice identifié nommément dans le cabinet.
Mongolia divides the employer file across three separate administrations: the general authority for state registration for the register of legal persons, the tax administration for tax, and the general department of social insurance for contributions. Unlike several neighbouring countries, there is no single filing window: a company or a firm must produce a document from each of those three sources.
One thing does simplify matters: the number allocated by the state register also serves as the tax identifier. There is no point looking for two distinct references.
The currency is the tugrik and the language is Mongolian, written in Cyrillic script, which makes certified translation necessary for anything sent to a foreign head office. Payroll on its own is not a regulated profession, but supplying accounting services to third parties falls under an authorisation regime administered by the Ministry of Finance, and the certified accountant designation is awarded by the Mongolian institute of certified public accountants.
The employer registers with the general department of social insurance and declares each employee there.
The entity must of course exist and be authorised. A company registers with the state register, which issues the certificate carrying the number that also serves as its tax identifier; where your activity falls under a sectoral authorisation regime, that registration alone is not enough.
The contract is written, in Mongolian. A bilingual version is possible provided the governing version is designated.
Two returns, two payments and two counterparties coexist on payroll: personal income tax is withheld by the employer, while social insurance contributions follow their own channel and their own calendar, and a delay on one does not carry the same consequences as a delay on the other.
Ask what form the payslip takes, in which language it is issued and how it is retained. For a foreign employee, anticipate the work permit and the associated residence authorisations.
Termination finally requires statutory grounds, a written procedure and settlement of accrued entitlements before the employee is deregistered from social insurance. Build translation time into your monthly closing calendar; what happens to payroll archives and to portal credentials belongs in the engagement letter, agreed before the first payroll run rather than after the last one.
The network asks 8 documents of any firm wishing to represent it in Mongolia. The table gives, for each of them, the exact wording in use locally, the body that issues it and the period during which it remains admissible. These are the terms to use in an application to the local administration.
Of these 8 documents, 6 are required of every applicant and 4 have a limited period of validity, the shortest being 1 months.

Mongolian documents are designed as dated extracts with a very short reach. A certificate a few weeks old says little about a company's current position, so you work with recent documents rather than with a file assembled once and reused.
The register, the tax authority and social insurance are three separate entities, each with its own portal and formats. Testing whether the three documents agree with one another is, for that reason, a useful check in itself, and the quickest one to run from abroad.
All official documentation is in Mongolian Cyrillic, with no authoritative English version. Certified translation is not a convenience here but a precondition for reading the file at all: that cost should be budgeted from the outset rather than discovered at the first review, since it weighs on every monthly deadline.
Trois particularités. 1) Un seul numéro : le регистрийн дугаар du registre d'État sert d'identifiant fiscal, il ne faut pas chercher deux références distinctes. 2) Les attestations mongoles (лавлагаа) sont conçues comme des extraits datés, très courts de validité : demander des pièces de moins d'un mois plutôt que de trois. 3) Trois administrations distinctes se partagent le dossier : GASR (burtgel.gov.mn) pour le registre, ТЕГ (mta.mn) pour le fiscal, НДЕГ (ndaatgal.mn) pour le social — le cabinet doit produire une pièce de chacune.
The network opens 3 partner slots in Mongolia, not one more. No firm is listed there yet: all 3 slots therefore remain open to applications.
No listed partner in Mongolia has asked to appear in the public directory. The contact details of a firm are passed on to the client only when an assignment is awarded.
Filing an application does not amount to admission: every request is reviewed one by one. There is no minimum turnover requirement, and the partner selected invoices its fees directly.
Submit an application: we review your file, we check the documents required on the ground and we give you an answer, whether it is positive or not.
A Mongolian partner combines two elements: the accounting services authorisation issued by the Ministry of Finance at entity level, and a named certified accountant within the firm who is a member of the Mongolian institute of certified public accountants. We ask for the state register certificate, the tax registration certificate, the certificate confirming no tax liabilities and the social insurance contribution statement, all of them recent given their short validity, together with a certified translation of each document. We also check that the numbers shown across those documents agree with one another.
Describe your requirement. No firm is listed in Mongolia yet: we review the request, then entrust it to a local firm that the network identifies and vets, or to the partner of a neighbouring country covering this territory. Your contact details are passed on to the selected firm alone.
Request a provider in MongoliaMobility is rarely arranged one country at a time. The neighbouring profiles follow the same outline.
These countries account for most of the requests received: each one has, in addition to its profile, six pages devoted to a single aspect of local payroll.
The information gathered on this page comes from the registers, administrations and bodies listed below, consulted when the reference base was compiled. It is given for guidance and does not replace the advice of a professional established in Mongolia.
