Guide to Contracting in Mongolia

How can an Umbrella Company Help with Contracting in Mongolia?

Most freelance workers aren’t superheroes who successfully tackle these issues all on their own. There are companies who specialise in helping workers make the most out of their contracts.

They’re called Umbrella Companies (or, contractor management companies).

Basically, an Umbrella Company acts as your full-time employer, even though you maintain your independence as a contractor. They collect and filter payments from your clients, filtering out the necessary social security and fees. You send them your timesheets, and they send you payments.

Because they act as your “employer,’ they can sponsor you and provide a single work permit for multiple contracts in Mongolia. Even better, most are experts in Mongolia and expat tax law, meaning they’ll also help you optimise your earnings in Mongolia

Although the Umbrella Company is technically your “employer,” you’re essentially freeing yourself to work even more independently. You still dictate your contracts, your hours, your schedule. The Umbrella Company simply filters out the time-consuming admin and immigration issues, allowing you to focus on your new contract.

 

Can I Organise My Taxes and Work Permit Myself?

Generally, you need to have an employer sponsor in order to secure the appropriate work permit and work visa for Mongolia

If you’re working independently, it can be difficult to find clients willing to sponsor you. Moreover, even if your client can do this, you’ll need a new sponsor each time you decide to take on a new contract. Of course, every new sponsor will mean more paperwork.

Also, are you familiar with the intricacies of the tax system in Mongolia, as well as your own country’s laws on overseas earnings? If so, good on you!

However, if you’re like the rest of us, figuring out (much less reducing) your tax liability in Mongolia and your home country can seem like full-time work in itself.

A Contractor’s Guide to Work Permits in Mongolia

As your permanent employer, umbrella companies are able to sponsor you for your Mongolia work permit provided they’re on the register of approved sponsors. Many different companies offer this service, because it makes contracting in Mongolia infinitely simpler and saves you the hassle of continuous paperwork. Instead of changing your work permit every time you get a new contract, you can just work how you ordinarily would under the same permit. They protect you from the bureaucratic “rain” of legal compliance with the Mongolia immigration authorities. They can even deal with the Mongolia Embassy directly.

Through their service you may be able to use a business visa to get started quickly and then transition to a work visa in Mongolia. It depends on your specific Mongolia visa requirements. Be aware you may have to register for a residence permit in Mongolia.

 


How Does an Umbrella Company Work?

Most people want to do their work, earn their money and enjoy their spare time without taking on loads of admin in a new country. That is why an umbrella company can help.

When you’re working through an Umbrella Company, you’ll essentially be outsourcing the admin and tax issues to specialists.

While the umbrella company will charge a fee, you’ll likely end up saving more money in the long run: you’ll be able to focus on your work, expertly reduce your tax liability, and comply with all laws and regulations in Mongolia (which means avoiding fees, fines, or even worse penalties).
