Over the last 16 years, a total of 4400 Mongolians have been born outside of Mongolia. This creates a problem because Mongolia does not allow dual citizenship. According to the current law, Mongolian citizens shall not be allowed to hold the citizenship of more than one foreign nation at the same time. However, Ts. Munkh-Orgil, Minister of Foreign Affairs said that the ‘Mongolian Government intends to discuss a draft law on dual citizenship with quotas for improving national security’. A total of 2000 Mongolians, who were born abroad since 1998, actually have dual citizenship. Many of them live in the USA and Germany. Some 43 schools and Mongolian language and culture centers have been opened in 14 countries. With the exception of South Korea, many countries do not allow the transfer of social insurance payments to Mongolia. However, the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland and Hungary plan to allow transfer of social insurance payments to Mongolia. More than 30 thousand Mongolians study in abroad in countries including China, South Korea, the USA and Australia. Another statistic is that there are currently 130 thousand illegal Mongolian immigrants, 60 thousand of them living in South Korea.
