mongolianchinese visas on the road

Question

My son and friend (just turned 19)are currently traveling from U.K to china via Russia and Mongolia on the trans Siberian train. They are currently in russia and only have Russian visas in their U.K. Passports. They also have Australian passports. They planned on getting Chinese visas in Ulan Bator but are not sure they can get Mongolian entry permit while traveling to even get there to get their chinese entry permits. They thought they didn't need a transit entry permit to go through Mongolia.  It all sounds very vague on line about what is required. Does anyone have advice on what they should do. Surely it can't be that hard?!?

If possible, they can try to apply for Chinese tourist entry permit in Russia because according to what you said, they will just transit in Mongolia, and I think it may not be easy for them to apply for Chinese entry permit from there then. They need to provide passport and its copy, the application form, a passport-style photo, their valid entry permit for Russia, and proof of transportation and accommodation arrangement.
