As an undocumented migrant, he has lost the occasional construction work that helped offset his rent of a shared apartment and internet bill.
He arrived in Mongolia on May 10 last year in search of a football career, with the help of an "agent", at second-tier outfit Khovd Western FC, intending to use the east Asian country as a stepping stone to Europe.
"I didn't plan to get to Mongolia because I planned to go to the UK [or another European country]," he told Al Jazeera by phone.
