VISA Question. I am traveling with a group of 7 from USA to Ulan Bator, Mongolia.

We have a brief layover in Beijing on our way to Mongolia, as well as on our return, where we will need to re-check luggage. Do we need entry permits? I have read about the transit visa but am not sure the procedure for receiving it. Could use some help.

Thanks,
